Building the digital foundation of tomorrow
Photon Capital builds specialist platforms in the digital ecosystem
Meaningful partnerships
Photon Capital builds data ecosystem platforms that are set to benefit from long-term trends and the changing needs of society.
We leverage our deep industry knowledge and hands-on experience to design, buy and build platforms in a highly fragmented European data ecosystem. We support these companies in achieving sustainable growth through acceleration of sales, international expansion, and strategic acquisitions.
Investment
playbooks
Photon Capital invests in lower-middle market European data ecosystem companies with a proven business model and positive EBITDA.
The heavily fragmented nature of the of the European data ecosystem means that companies with scale are sold at a considerable premium. As a sector specialist, Photon Capital doesn’t need to rely on acquiring a larger platform as a starting point to scale further.
Photon develops a thesis based on validated needs in the market to design a business from scratch, buy small targeted (off-market) businesses that fit the design and subsequently
build out the platform layering management and capabilities gradually, using proven playbooks.
