Thoma Bravo closes a $1.8 billion fund to acquire European software companies #ThomaBravo, the US-based #PE powerhouse, has closed a €1.8 billion fund dedicated to investing in European software companies. This move marks a significant milestone for the firm, as it seeks to capitalize on attractive opportunities within the European market. Led by founder and managing partner Orlando Bravo, Thoma Bravo aims to invest in middle-market software businesses with revenues ranging between $1 billion and $10 billion, focusing on sectors such as compliance, healthcare software, and #fintech tools for CFOs. The firm’s European strategy has gained momentum since opening its London office in 2023, now home to a 10-person team led by partner Irina Hemmers. Since establishing its European presence, Thoma Bravo has completed notable investments, including the €400 million take-private of EQS Group and stakes in USU, Hypergene, and Logex. In a landmark transaction, the firm also acquired British cybersecurity leader Darktrace in April 2024 for $5.3 billion. Having invested €14 billion across 16 European deals since 2011, Thoma Bravo’s latest fund underscores its long-term commitment to backing technology innovators in the region. The new fund is poised to support the scaling of European software firms through equity investments valued between €150 million and €1 billion. The article on Sifted in the first comment.
