Oakley Capital was founded 20 years ago to be the partner of choice for exceptional founders and entrepreneurs. We back private, pan-European businesses with an enterprise value from €100m to €1bln+, acquiring control or co-control stakes and supporting complex deals such as carve-outs. We have a diverse team of over 200 professionals working across five locations, including London, Munich, Milan, Madrid, and Luxembourg, offering us genuine European reach and local cultural expertise. Our unique origination capabilities help us unearth attractive opportunities across our four core sectors: Technology, Business Services, Digital Consumer and Education. We then support founders to create value and accelerate growth, whether by helping them expand into new markets and regions, grow their management team, transform their marketing strategy, or shift their business to recurring revenues. We focus on building long-lasting, repeat partnerships with exceptional founders, many of whom go on to invest in our funds. To date, we have raised eight funds across two strategies (Flagship and Origin), including our record flagship Fund V, managing c.€11bln on behalf of institutional investors and generating consistently strong returns for all our stakeholders.
