About This Fund
PSG Europe II is the firm’s second private equity Europe-focused fund. It has more than €2.6 billion in commitments, exceeding PSG’s initial target. PSGE II is one of the largest growth equity funds raised to invest exclusively in European software companies. The successful fundraise reflects the strong support received from both new and existing investors globally including state pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, family offices and high net worth individuals. PSGE II significantly exceeds the size of its predecessor, PSG Europe I, which held its final close in January 2021 with more than €1.3 billion in commitments. PSG sees the European software sector as highly fragmented with many high-quality point solution providers, often focused on either a single strategy or a single country. This market dynamic presents significant investment and growth opportunities for firms like PSG, which possess local expertise and relationships across Europe to support deal sourcing, extensive operational support capabilities and a longstanding global track record of growing B2B software businesses both organically and inorganically. PSG’s investment strategy focuses on scaling single-country, single-product software companies through organic and inorganic growth into multi-country, multi-product pan-European champions across multiple markets, supporting its portfolio companies’ global growth ambitions. Given its origins, resources and track record in the U.S., PSG can be a strong supportive partner to enable market expansion in North America.
