KKA Partners (KKA), a Berlin-based private equity firm that invests in DACH based SME companies, and grows enterprises through technology enablement, has closed its second fund (Fund II) with €230 million in external capital commitments.
Exceeding its original target of €200 million, the fund was significantly oversubscribed at its hard cap, attracting support from both Fund I investors and new institutional investors from Europe and the US. Commitments came from a diverse group of institutional investors, including endowment funds, pension funds, insurance companies and large family offices, as well as entrepreneurs. More than 40% of commitments came from institutional investors in the US.
Founded in 2018, KKA is focused on primary buy-outs in the DACH Region, namely Germany, Austria and Switzerland, driving growth and value creation through the technology enablement of small and medium sized companies. With decades of local market expertise and a differentiated origination pipeline of companies in an underserved market, KKA partners with ambitious founders and management teams attracted by KKA’s ability to accelerate growth through its proprietary technology enablement process.
Fund II has completed four platform investments to date, with a primary focus on the B2B services and healthcare space. KKA’s current portfolio includes Curamed, a group of private German mental health clinics, Xantaro, a German/UK IT services and software business for critical communication networks, SSF, a leader in the business process outsourcing space and Prokuras, a real estate services company.
