Tech & Telecom
Apax Funds are pioneers in Technology and Telecommunications
investing. The Funds have backed companies on both sides of
the Atlantic from the very first days of the venture capital
industry and Apax was one of the first private equity firms to
apply the skills forged in these venture capital deals to the
buyout arena.
Nowadays Apax Partners focuses purely on buyouts and larger growth
investments, but still offers a unique sector-focused capability,
with the growth DNA and industry expertise remaining a core feature
of one of the largest sector teams in the business. This
capability has led to a number of buyout investments having been
made 'ahead of the curve', or in non-obvious areas.
The team come from a variety of backgrounds in industry,
consultancy and banking and each specialise in different niche
sub-sectors. This pool of industry knowledge can be rapidly
deployed across Apax Partners' global platform according to the
needs of the specific investment.
Led by Andrew Sillitoe (UK) and Salim Nathoo (UK), the team
has advised Apax Funds on more than €3.8bn of investment in the
last 15 years.
