Marktlink Capital hits €520m raise for private equity and AI-focused venture funds

7 months ago


Marktlink Capital has secured €520m from private investors for two new funds, strengthening its strategy of providing access to top-tier private equity and venture capital opportunities across Europe and North America.

The raise includes €440m for a private equity vehicle targeting 11 funds such as Hg, Adams Street Partners, Egeria, and Mill Point Capital, and €80m for a venture capital fund backing leading VC managers focused on high-growth technology and AI-driven businesses.

Founded in 2020 and operating as part of advisory firm Marktlink, the Amsterdam-based manager uses a fund-of-funds and feeder fund model with a €250k minimum investment threshold. Since inception, Marktlink Capital has amassed over €2.5bn in commitments, almost entirely from Dutch entrepreneurs and families, and built a network of nearly 2,000 investors.

The firm’s fifth private equity fund-of-funds closed above its €300m target in just six months, while its third venture fund reached its €80m hard cap. Among early VC successes is Swedish company Lovable, which scaled to €100m in revenue in under a year.

“Geopolitical tensions, trade tariffs, and the reduced appeal of real estate as an asset class are driving investors towards more diversified strategies,” said Managing Partner Hylke Hertoghs. “The funds we have selected are positioned for today’s market and some are already producing valuations above expectations.”
