As industry insiders, Jolt Capital has an ingrained understanding of the scaling constraints facing SMEs originating in Europe, from both an operational and financing perspective.

It is a fast growing technology companies in Europe need to finance their working capital in order to scale effectively in competitive markets. Despite their robustness, limited access to bank financing is a recurring constraint on company growth. Jolt Capital partners with these great companies by filling this gap with mutually beneficial equity investments.

Growing technology companies routinely require significant capex across the organization in areas such as manufacturing, servers, facilities, testing, etc. Jolt Capital supports companies in their Capital Expenditures on the path to sustainable growth and profitability.

Jolt Capital fosters European mid-size companies’ growth and profitability by financing their working capital, capex, external growth strategies and overall strengthening their balance sheet, in an approach that is mutually favorable to Jolt’s investors, Jolt’s portfolio companies, and Europe as a whole.
