Scottish Equity Partners is a specialist growth equity firm investing in enterprise technology companies across the UK and Europe. For 25 years, SEP has backed founders building systems of operation for high-stakes environments — enterprise software that sits at the heart of organisational workflows, underpinning critical processes, shaping decisions, and carrying real operational responsibility in sectors characterised by regulation, scale, and operational complexity. SEP believes the next generation of enterprise technology success will be built at the intersection of data, AI, and human expertise, and focuses on capital-efficient software scaleups with durable, embedded customer relationships and strong recurring revenue. The firm takes an active, long-term partnership approach, providing not only capital but strategic guidance, talent support, and access to an international network to help portfolio companies achieve sustainable growth.
