Piton Capital

Piton Capital is a London-based venture capital and growth equity firm with a strong focus on B2B software and tech-enabled services companies. Established with a clear mandate to support high-growth businesses, the firm primarily targets companies that have achieved product-market fit and are poised for significant scaling. Their investment strategy revolves around identifying disruptive technologies and robust business models within the enterprise software space, often seeking out companies with strong recurring revenue streams and global expansion potential.

The firm typically engages with companies from Series A through Series C stages, providing not only capital but also strategic guidance and operational support to accelerate growth. Piton Capital closed its inaugural fund, Piton Capital Fund I, in 2017, securing $100 million in commitments to deploy across its portfolio. This fund size allows them to make meaningful initial investments while reserving capital for follow-on rounds to support their portfolio companies' continued development and expansion. Their portfolio includes notable companies such as Contentful, Dataiku, and Snyk, demonstrating their commitment to leading innovators in the B2B technology sector.

Piton Capital's investment approach emphasizes long-term partnerships, working closely with founders and management teams to navigate growth challenges and capitalize on market opportunities. While their primary geographic focus is Europe, they are known to invest in promising companies globally, particularly those with a strong European presence or expansion plans. Their typical initial cheque size ranges from approximately $5 million to $25 million, reflecting their sweet spot in growth-stage funding. The firm’s expertise lies in helping companies scale their operations, refine their go-to-market strategies, and build world-class teams, positioning them for successful exits or sustained independent growth.
