| GP Bullhound today announces that Fund V has closed oversubscribed at the hard cap of €300m. Initially targeting €200m, GP Bullhound extended the fund size due to strong demand from tech entrepreneurs, family offices and institutions in Europe and the US. Moreover, 90% of all Fund IV investors followed into Fund V. Interest was further stimulated by the stellar performance of Fund IV. In only 2.5 years, it has more than doubled its value after all fees including four completed IPOs in Unity, Slack, Believe Digital, and Definitive Healthcare. Fund V continues in a similar vein by investing in absolute category leaders in tech with investments in DuckDuckGo, Discord, Patreon, Vivino, Revolut and Klarna to name a few.
