European Equity Partners
European Equity Partners provides capital to companies in Northern Europe who are seeking their first round of external funding.
"When we decided to create a private equity fund focusing on growth companies, we wanted EEP to provide not only capital, but also to actively assist our portfolio companies in creating value."
During the many years of investing EEP has learnt that managers and owners of technology and health science companies often are looking for an equity partner who:
- understands the challenges of commercialising a technology
- can assist with honing the business strategy
- can attract additional overseas capital
- can help recruiting key people
- can assist in forging critical international business relationships.
Leveraging their continually growing network of advisors and business contacts with relevant technical, science and practical business experience, EEP gives each company input and support from a tailored and dedicated EEP team.
EEP pursues a thematic approach to investing, focusing on sectors where significant growth opportunities exist. This results in EEP being a more effective and knowledgeable value-add investor. To date, EEP has focused on telecoms and IT opportunities and has recently begun actively pursuing investments in healthcare.
