Next Wave Partners

Next Wave Partners is a London-based independent private equity firm that invests transformational growth capital into UK-headquartered SMEs and lower mid-market companies. Since raising its first external fund in 2007, the firm has focused on fast-growing, established businesses with strong positions in developing markets, specialising in knowledge-intensive and technology-enabled business services, consumer products, logistics, and manufacturing sectors with international growth opportunities. Next Wave backs like-minded entrepreneurs and works hand-in-hand with management teams to scale and transform their businesses, targeting companies generating at least £1 million in EBITDA and requiring between £2 million and £20 million of growth capital. The firm prefers UK-headquartered companies but will consider opportunities across Northern Europe, and has assets under management exceeding €350 million across multiple institutional funds.
