Approach

We empower Software & IT companies in realizing their ambitions. By providing a flexible capital solution, we partner with entrepreneurs and enable them to optimally realize their desired growth, acquisition or management buy-out transaction.

Empowering entrepreneurs to realize value creation

With over 20 years of experience in the Software & IT industry, a strong and international investment team and a vast network of entrepreneurs, Pride Capital Partners aims to guide Software & IT companies through their next phase. Our philosophy pivots around empowering the entrepreneur, rather than replacing. With our flexible capital solution, we combine private debt and private equity instruments. This allows us to tailor the capital structure to the future plans of the company. We partner with you. You hold the reins - we help you in choosing the reins and holding them tight.

We're a financial partner, not just a capital partner

Next to providing capital, we are a financial partner to our portfolio companies in various aspects. Having worked with many different management teams and businesses, Pride can assist in professionalizing financial management of the company. In growth and buy-and-build trajectories, Pride can support in cashflow planning, deal origination, structuring and deal execution.

Strategic sparring partner - grow beyond borders

With long experience in the industry, Pride makes the right strategic partner for software companies. Are you transitioning to a SaaS business? Are you planning to grow into new verticals?
