Vinge has advised Aspira Partners ("Aspira") on the establishment and fundraising of Aspira's inaugural blind-pool fund, Aspira Fund I (D) AB and Aspira Fund I (E) AB (collectively, "Fund I" or the "Fund").
The Fund, which was oversubscribed, closed at its €270 million external capital hard cap. The Fund's investor base consists of a number of highly respected institutional investors from Continental Europe, the Nordic region, and North America. Connaught (EU) B.V. acted as placement agent.
Aspira partners directly with founder-led SMEs across the Nordic region, targeting proprietary investments in mission-critical B2B businesses across business services, specialized industrials, and technology with clear opportunities for buy-and-build and organic development. Since launching its fundraise, Fund I has closed four platform investments.
Vinge’s team primarily consisted of Mattias Schömer, Martin Cronsioe, Marcus Andersson, Tobias Onegård Karlsson, Liva Bihre, Jenny Tolander, Sara Link, Nils Unckel, Mikaela Reinhammar, Anton Sjökvist, Emelie Svanberg, Erik Kochbati, Anna Neubüser, Felicia Andersson and Emelie Zingmark.
