Highland Europe

Highland Europe is a growth-stage venture capital firm investing in European software and consumer internet companies with proven product-market fit and at least €10 million in annualised revenue. The firm spun out of US-based Highland Capital Partners in 2012 and operates from offices in London and Geneva.

The firm typically writes growth cheques of €20–80 million into companies demonstrating strong revenue growth and capital efficiency. Its strategy emphasises long-term partnerships with founder-led teams, a hands-on approach to portfolio support, and dedicated work on international expansion. A platform team built out from 2023 onwards extends a network of advisors and operating experts across the portfolio.

Highland Europe is investing from its fifth fund, a €1 billion vehicle closed in January 2023, bringing total capital raised to roughly €2.75 billion across five funds. Portfolio companies include Adjust, AMCS, Camunda, ContentSquare, GetYourGuide, Huel, Malwarebytes, Nexthink, Supermetrics, WeTransfer, Wolt and Zwift.
