About us

Oakley Capital was founded 20 years ago to be the partner of choice for exceptional founders and entrepreneurs. We back private, pan-European businesses with an enterprise value from €100m to €1bln+, acquiring control or co-control stakes and supporting complex deals such as carve-outs. We have a diverse team of over 200 professionals working across five locations, including London, Munich, Milan, Madrid, and Luxembourg, offering us genuine European reach and local cultural expertise. Our unique origination capabilities help us unearth attractive opportunities across our four core sectors: Technology, Business Services, Digital Consumer and Education. We then support founders to create value and accelerate growth, whether by helping them expand into new markets and regions, grow their management teams, transform their marketing strategy, or shift their business to recurring revenues. We focus on building long-lasting, repeat partnerships with exceptional founders, many of whom go on to invest in our funds. Across the Group, Oakley manages in excess of c.€15 billion on behalf of our investors, generating consistently strong returns for all our stakeholders.

    Last night, Boardwave members participated in an evening of wine tasting, and networking, at 67 Pall Mall. Kindly sponsored by Oakley Capital, and in collaboration with Cruxy, the evening blended the bold flavours of American and European wines, with equally full-bodied conversations on what it takes to scale across the Atlantic. A huge shout out to the amazing Carrie Osman for leading such an engaging session and to Dominic Joseph for sharing his experience of scaling to the US so authentically. It allowed for a truly interactive debate. We’d like to thank everyone who was involved in bringing yesterday evening to life, and we look forward to welcoming you all to another Boardwave event soon! #Boardwave #MakingWaves
