Monterro expands Nordic software dominance with €1.7bn fund close

Monterro, the Nordics’ largest B2B software investor, has closed two new funds totalling €1.725bn, bringing its assets under management to €3.1bn. The raise cements Monterro’s position as the region’s leading software-focused private equity firm.

The new funds, M5 and G2, were both oversubscribed and closed in under four months despite a challenging fundraising environment. They attracted commitments from 26 new institutional investors across Europe, APAC, the US, and South America. Monterro itself contributed more than 10% of the capital, with around 50 entrepreneurs and executives from its portfolio companies also participating.

Founded in 2012, Monterro specialises in supporting Nordic B2B software businesses through operational expertise, strategic guidance, and international expansion. Its initiatives include in-house AI specialists, a software development hub in Vietnam, and an exclusive community network for portfolio company leaders.

Lars Sveder, co-founder and Chief Investment Officer, said: “This fundraise reflects our position as the leading B2B software investor in the Nordics and the trust our investors place in our model. It’s a testament not only to the strong returns we’ve consistently delivered but also to our long-term vision we bring as hands-on operational investors.”

Gustav Lagercrantz, CEO of Monterro, added: “With additional capital, we can now support even more Nordic software companies in becoming international market leaders.”

Monterro has been highly active this year, investing in six new companies, completing five add-on acquisitions, expanding its team by 16, and opening a new office in Helsinki.

The firm was advised on the fundraise by Rede Partners and Andulf Advokat.
