Principia SGR
Principia SGR was a Milan-based venture and growth capital manager founded in 2002 as Quantica SGR and rebranded Principia around 2011. It ran three closed-end funds - the generalist Principia Fund, the digital-focused Principia II and the 205 million euro Principia III-Health life sciences fund - and produced landmark Italian venture outcomes including the sale of EOS to Clovis Oncology and the listings of Docebo and Compass Pathways. After a 2021 change of control to the OAN Capital and Antirion group the firm was renamed Xyence, and its original website is no longer active.
