Elysian Capital is an independent Private Equity firm focused on the lower mid market in the United Kingdom and Ireland. We acquire majority stakes in growth businesses valued between £20million and £100million. We are sector agnostic but, through our individual careers and past investments, have significant experience across a wide range of industries. The firm was founded as a start up in 2007 to create a different type of Private Equity firm by bringing together four elements: • Outstanding private equity skills and experience • Real operational management experience in house • Regional presence with partners based locally • Significant personal financial commitment by all members of the firm to the funds. Our unique blend of entrepreneurial, operational and investment skills enables us to partner aspirational management teams, who want pragmatic support to unlock the full potential of their business. The team have contributed £41m across the two funds (c11%) which means we have genuine alignment with our management teams and investors in every deal.
