AnaCap Financial Partners ('AnaCap') is a private equity firm advising funds that invest in Software, Technology and Services within the European financial ecosystem.
History
AnaCap was founded in 2005.[1] The firm launched its debut fund in 2006, when it raised €300 million and has since raised €2.7 billion across 4 private equity funds and various co-investment vehicles. AnaCap’s funds have attracted a global investor base including institutions such as Goldman Sachs and Allianz.[2][3]
