About This Fund
Eurazeo PME V is the fifth fund in Eurazeo's lower mid-market private equity series, managed by the Eurazeo Elevate investment team — a dedicated unit within Eurazeo's broader platform comprising approximately 30 investment professionals based in Paris, London, Madrid, and Munich. The fund reached a first close exceeding €1 billion in 2025, with international investors representing 60% of total commitments, and was seeded with two initial portfolio investments at close. Eurazeo, one of Europe's leading listed private equity firms with over €35 billion in assets under management, provides the Elevate team with institutional infrastructure, cross-platform co-investment capacity, and ESG resources.
Eurazeo PME V targets high-quality, fast-growing lower mid-market technology and business services companies across Europe, with a particular focus on businesses generating €5 million to €30 million in EBITDA with strong recurring revenue profiles and identifiable international expansion opportunities. The fund pursues control-oriented buyout transactions, applying Eurazeo's operational expertise in digital transformation, buy-and-build strategies, and cross-border expansion to accelerate portfolio company growth. The Elevate team's sector concentrations in enterprise software, tech-enabled services, and professional services reflect their deep expertise in European lower mid-market deal flow.
Building on the strong performance of PME I through PME IV, the Eurazeo PME series has established a track record of partnering with founder-led and family-owned businesses and supporting their transition to institutional ownership. Fund V opened with portfolio investments including OMMAX, a Munich-based data-driven marketing consultancy acquired in partnership with Singulier, and Nextron Systems, a European cybersecurity threat detection platform. With a target of 15 or more portfolio companies, PME V is positioned to capitalize on the continued fragmentation of the European lower mid-market technology and services sector.
