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]
The firm’s strategy is to invest in Software, Technology and Services within the European financial ecosystem. AnaCap focuses on supporting founders, entrepreuners and managers in the European lower mid-market.
In 2022, Anacap carved out of the credit business into an independent advisory firm called Veld Capital.[4]

In May 2022, AnaCap, together with US investment banks City and Goldman Sachs, invested $250 million into Jobandtalent, the Madrid based temporary job platform.[10][11]
