Giano Capital
About us.
Giano Capital was set up by 2 highly experienced operators with a unique combination of an entrepreneurial and investment track record, to invest in growth and later stage tech opportunities in private companies located primarily in Europe.
The current market environment has led to increased capital inflows in private markets: over $ 21 T have been invested in the past five years. In Europe, we have seen a very high number of late-stage rounds at larger valuations. This has expanded the later-stage VC asset class in Europe and has resulted in more unicorns than ever before.
With companies staying private longer, we have a unique opportunity to buy shares from early shareholders looking for a liquidity event. Especially in Europe, as the secondary market is still behind the USA.
We see a big investment opportunity in the late-stage space in Europe and opportunistically in the rest of the world, both through secondary and primary transactions.
