P Capital Growth is a Stockholm-based growth fund. The strategy was founded on the belief that founders building deeply valuable businesses that are capital intensive, operating in niche markets, or operationally complex, are underserved by the current capital markets ecosystem. Too often, these companies are forced to choose between taking unnecessary risk to access equity, or the rigid constraints of traditional debt and bootstrapping.
With €150M raised to date, our strategy deploys patient, high-conviction capital to fund entrepreneur-led technology companies through the economic cycle, leading rounds with €10–50M of non-dilutive capital. We back businesses with proven product-market fit, strong unit economics, and a clear path to profitability; partnering closely with founders to build bottom-up growth plans that balance ambition with discipline.
Our structure is designed to protect what founders have built while accelerating what comes next.
