Marktlink Capital hits €520m raise for private equity and AI-focused venture funds. The raise includes €440m for a private equity vehicle targeting 11 funds such as Hg, Adams Street Partners, Egeria, and Mill Point Capital, and €80m for a venture capital fund backing leading VC managers focused on high-growth technology and AI-driven businesses. The firm’s fifth private equity fund-of-funds closed above its €300m target in just six months, while its third venture fund reached its €80m hard cap. Among early VC successes is Swedish company Lovable, which scaled to €100m in revenue in under a year. “Geopolitical tensions, trade tariffs, and the reduced appeal of real estate as an asset class are driving investors towards more diversified strategies,” said Managing Partner Hylke Hertoghs.

I am always looking for new and interesting topics to share with my network of family offices. During Freedom Capital Markets' Summer Family Office Summit last week, one of our panels was on: ♟️ Opportunities for Investing in Turnaround & Distressed Assets During this discussion, our panel dug deep into the complex—but potentially rewarding—world of distressed and special situation investing. From operational turnarounds to distressed M&A and asset recovery strategies, these industry veterans shared how they uncover value in chaos—and what investors need to get right when navigating high-risk environments. Led by moderator Ron Senatore of Insperity (which was also a conference sponsor), the conversation featured sharp insights from: 🔹 Aaron Manoucheri – Co-founder and COO of Manoucheri Brokers, LLC 🔹 Jeff Sands, CTP – Founding Partner, Dorset Partners; Senior Advisor, American Industrial Acquisition Corporation Not for the faint of heart, but for those with the expertise and the willingness to go all in on the operational front, there are potential investment opportunities to be found.
