PSG Equity (PSG), a growth equity firm focused on software and technology-enabled services companies, has paid over €100m to acquire a majority interest in Visit Group, a Nordic-based, hospitality and travel software company.
Headquartered in Gothenburg, Sweden, Visit Group provides collaborative commerce software to in-destination experience vendors, including lodgings, day tours and attractions, mountain resorts, ferry operators, amusement parks and activity vendors. As of August 2023, the company serves more than 2,200 customers in over 25 countries.
With PSG’s support, Visit Group will invest to help accelerate both organic and inorganic growth across the region by broadening the range and depth of solutions offered to its customers.
The transaction marks PSG’s first platform investment in Sweden and Norway and its twenty-fourth in Europe. Under the terms of the investment, PSG will acquire shares in Visit Group from Standout Capital, a leading Nordic technology investor, and other minority shareholders while the founder and management will remain significant owners.
