About Favonius

Favonius  is a leading European Investment Fund focusing on venture buyouts, corporate spinouts and growth capital /expansion financing for IT companies.

The first fund was founded in 2001 with capital from leading European and US financial institutions. The target investment size is generally between €3m and €10m per suitable opportunity.

Once invested, we focus our efforts on helping companies expand not only across Europe but also globally. A core differentiator is the funds dual investment approach, pairing deep technical, operational and management expertise with professional investment expertise at all levels.

Favonius' partners have occupied senior management and investment positions in a broad range of successful institutions such as Philips Electronics, Tandem Computers, AT&T, ABN AMRO Bank and have also been involved in starting successful companies such as Veritas Software, Seebeyond and Nedamco Inc.

The Favonius team has a successful track record of exiting multiple companies in recent years.
