Priveq

About Priveq

Priveq is one of Sweden's longest-running private equity houses with approximately SEK 7-8 billion of assets under management as of December 2024 (Fund VII closed 2024 at approximately $290 million / €270 million hard cap, plus multiple active vintages), headquartered in Stockholm. The firm was founded in 1983 and operates as an independent partner-owned private equity firm with a 40-plus-year track record of more than 140 Swedish investments, 29 of which were taken public.

Investment thesis

Priveq deploys capital through approximately eight funds (Funds I-VII plus earlier vehicles), targeting lower mid-market growth and buyout investments providing expansion capital for entrepreneur-led companies (revenue above SEK 100 million, profitable growth). Sector deployment is largely sector-agnostic spanning software and technology, healthcare services, industrials and manufacturing, business services, consumer and e-commerce and education services. Geographic deployment is Sweden core with broader Nordics. The platform's exceptional IPO-exit pedigree is among the strongest of Nordic mid-market sponsors.

Recent activity

Recent realised exits include consumer e-commerce (2025) and language and media services (2024). Recent acquisitions include security technology (2026), engineering software (2025) and education and training services (2025). The platform continues active deployment of Fund VII across the Swedish lower mid-market mandate. Detailed buyer names and multiple data available on Pro at €29/month.
