Investment thesis
Oakley Capital targets outstanding mid-market companies across Europe in its core sectors of technology, consumer, education and business services. Its approach rests on three pillars: origination through an extensive, carefully cultivated network that surfaces opportunities others cannot access; a 'digital by design' philosophy that leverages digital fluency to help portfolio companies migrate to the cloud, scale e-commerce, and adopt new business models; and a 'human in nature' emphasis on close, long-term partnerships with founders and management teams. The firm also integrates ESG principles and responsible investing into building sustainable companies.
