What is Grafton Capital?
Grafton Capital is a London-based growth capital investor focusing on leading European technology and software companies. Established in 2014, they specialize in investing growth capital as a minority partner but also occasionally take majority interest or acquire entire businesses.
With an emphasis on business software, tech-enabled businesses, data and analytics, online platforms, and marketplaces, Grafton Capital supports entrepreneurs who not only aspire to global ambitions but are also leading players in valuable niches. They offer flexible investment solutions, ranging from providing fresh capital for growth to liquidity solutions for shareholders seeking to de-risk their position or streamline company ownership structures.
Grafton Capital's typical investment ranges from £5 million to £20 million. Their portfolio highlights their commitment to adding value beyond capital, such as the sale of portfolio company Third Financial Software to Nucleus Financial, or the acquisition of Softomotive by Microsoft, where Grafton Capital had been the only external shareholder.
With approximately £140 million invested to date across 15 investments, they bring knowledge, insight, support, and advice to the table. They are described as skilled and entrepreneurial, providing a sounding board for ideas, and valued for their independent thinking and experience.
Their latest activities include the acquisition of ProQuo AI, an €18 million investment in Xtremepush, and successful exits like the sale of Alva. Regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority in the United Kingdom with the registration number 948994, Grafton Capital operates with entities in Jersey as Alternative Investment Fund Managers.
