Message: [QUOTE="Romain Dillet, post: 1581"] Paris-based VC firm [URL='https://partechpartners.com']Partech[/URL] has announced the closing of the fundraising of its new growth fund. Partech Growth II is the firm’s second growth fund. And the team managed to raise $750 million. As a reminder, Partech Growth I was a smaller fund with €400 million under management, which represents $460 million at today’s exchange rate. Partech closed Partech Growth I back in 2015. When it comes to today’s fund, backing comes from 45 institutional investors, such as endowments, foundations, pension funds, life insurers, asset managers and fund-of-funds. Around 40 family offices, entrepreneurs and business angels also participated directly in the new fund. Partech has already started deploying some of the fund in tech companies. Portfolio companies include [URL='https://www.rohlik.group']Rohlik[/URL], a grocery delivery company from Czech Republic (more details in [URL='https://techcrunch.com/2021/06/30/rohlik-raises-119m-at-a-1-2b-valuation-to-grow-its-2-hour-grocery-delivery-service-in-europe/']Ingrid Lunden’s article[/URL]), [URL='https://en.skello.io']Skello[/URL], a work scheduling software-as-a-service tool (more details in [URL='https://techcrunch.com/2021/09/15/skello-raises-47-3-million-for-its-employee-scheduling-tool/']my separate article[/URL]), [URL='https://www.studocu.com']Studocu[/URL], a note sharing platform for college students (Ingrid also [URL='https://techcrunch.com/2021/05/09/studocu-raises-50m-as-its-note-sharing-network-for-college-students-passes-15m-users/']covered it here[/URL]) and recurring payment platform [URL='https://billogram.com']Billogram[/URL] ([URL='https://techcrunch.com/2021/09/13/billogram-provider-of-a-payments-platform-specifically-for-recurring-billing-raises-45m/']more from Ingrid[/URL]). “We’re humbled and grateful for the support of, and commitment from, our global investors.
