Summary
European growth investor Sprints has closed its fifth fund at its €725m hard cap, according to AltAssets. The vehicle represents an increase of about 40% over the previous generation's fundraising, marking a significant step up in capital raised for the firm.
Reaching a hard cap means the fund closed at the maximum size the manager set, rather than at a lower interim figure. For allocators, that outcome points to sustained limited partner appetite for Sprints' strategy in the current market.
Sprints continues to back established technology businesses across Europe, according to the publisher summary. The source article is limited to a summary and paywalled text, so further detail on the fund's investor base, strategy allocations, or target sectors is not available from this coverage.
The close adds to the broader set of European growth-equity vehicles raising capital, and the 40% step-up provides a concrete data point on the firm's fundraising momentum across its successive funds.
