Thesis
Horizon Capital is a private equity firm with a significant presence in Emerging Europe, particularly Ukraine and Moldova, and a UK-based entity focusing on UK businesses. Their investment strategy centers on backing visionary entrepreneurs leading high-growth, export-oriented companies that leverage CEE's cost-competitive advantages for global revenues. They also invest in 'domestic champions' and have launched a 'Catalyst Fund' for reconstruction in Ukraine, targeting sectors like energy, digital infrastructure, construction, and industrial. The firm generally prefers to lead investments and employs a 'buy-and-build' strategy, seeking value creation through M&A. Horizon Capital manages multiple funds with over $1.8 billion in AUM, including the Emerging Europe Growth Fund (EEGF) and Horizon Capital Growth Fund (HCGF) series. HCGF IV closed at $350 million in February 2024. The UK-based Horizon Capital LLP invests between £10 million and £75 million in companies.
