Irish private equity firm erisbeg closes €175m fund targeting SME growth. The raise, which follows an initial close of €100m in December, drew renewed support from AIB, Bank of Ireland, and Ireland Strategic Investment Fund (ISIF), alongside new commitments from investors in Norway, Belgium, and the Netherlands. Erisbeg, founded by Alan K., Thomas Davy, Robert Burns, and Andrew Murphy, focuses on business services companies in Ireland with ambitions for international expansion. Alan Kerr, co-founder of Erisbeg, said: “This fund raise took shape in a matter of months, thanks to the support of our Irish and international institutional investors. There was support from investors for a larger fund, but we felt it was right to close it out now at a size we believe is perfect for the market opportunity as we see it today.” Explore how Erisbeg is positioning to support Irish SMEs with global ambitions here: https://lnkd.in/dm7ctWwW #PEInsights #privateequity #fundraising #SME
