How we build value in companies

We provide strategic, operating and financial expertise

Investor Growth Capital Europe commits itself to portfolio companies primarily through our work on their boards. This commitment goes beyond simple monitoring because we actively help you develop your corporate strategy, manage operational challenges, select executive team members, and raise debt and equity capital, all to create sustainable value in the marketplace. We are long-term in vision but very active in our short-term follow-up and ownership role.

Access to a global relationship network

Our portfolio holdings also gain valuable access to Investor Growth Capital’s international network and business experience. This includes our network of investment professionals in the Investor Growth Capital U.S. and Investor Growth Capital Asia organizations, as well as Investor AB’s global relationship network of people and businesses.

Investor Growth Capital Europe also has an extensive access to investment banks, commercial banks and other lenders, law firms, accounting firms, executive recruiting firms, industry research houses, and other venture capital firms. The unique international dimension to Investor Growth Capital Europe makes us a highly competitive partner when companies want to expand internationally.

Offering patient and flexible capital

Investor Growth Capital is structured as an evergreen capital pool. Unlike most venture capital firms, we do not have a finite fund life. This longer-term perspective and flexibility enables us to support a company through several phases of development. We can also avoid the usual pressure of seeking liquidity because of the requirements of external limited partners. We are open to both private and public investments.

Long experience of building companies

Having worked with a very large number of portfolio companies, Investor Growth Capital Europe’s investment professionals have years of operational and venture capital experience from investing in growth companies throughout their life cycle.
