EURAZEO ANNOUNCES THE FIRST CLOSING OF ITS GROWTH

FUND IV AT €650 MILLION TO SCALE UP EUROPEAN AI

CHAMPIONS

Paris, July 16, 2025

Eurazeo       announces      the      first      closing      of     the      Eurazeo      Growth      Fund     IV      (“EGF     IV”) 

at €650 million, with a target of €1 billion, and prominent European institutions among its initial investors. Eurazeo Growth now reaches €4 billion assets under management.

EGF IV builds on a decade of investing into more than 30 global tech champions including Doctolib, Cognigy, EcoVadis, Fever, Dataiku, Neo4j, Qonto and commercetools. EGF IV reinforces Eurazeo’s long-standing commitment to backing the global ambitions of Europe’s visionary founders. This new fund is already demonstrating strong momentum with its first investments scaling at more than a 50% year-over-year revenue pace.

Europe stands at a pivotal moment. With generative AI dramatically lowering the cost of experimentation and reducing the capital required to build differentiated technology, talent matters more than ever. Europe’s deep technical talent, research centers and universities are at the forefront of AI innovation and can scale global solutions faster and cheaper. This is the moment to double down on Europe’s most ambitious founders.

With highly experienced professionals operating across the UK, Germany, France and Spain, Eurazeo’s Growth team brings a distinctly local and long-term approach to investing, whilst also offering a global vision. Under the stewardship of Hala Fadel, the team has continued to strengthen its capabilities with several prominent hires, reinforcing its ability to support ambitious entrepreneurs across Europe. Its 17 international investment professionals, who are deeply anchored in the growth ecosystem, benefit from long-standing relationships built at an early stage, enabling them to develop a strong understanding of founders and their markets. Entrepreneurs frequently cite this preparation and perspective as a key differentiator and the reason why they choose Eurazeo Growth to partner with them.

Eurazeo’s Growth team also brings a distinctive operational edge, leveraging the expertise of 5 seasoned operating partners with hands-on experience from companies such as Datadog, VMware, RingCentral, PayPal, Klarna, Expedia, and Capgemini, who support founders throughout their scaling process.

Together, these elements make EGF IV highly attractive to investors, as evidenced by the strong momentum for the fund’s closing. 

Hala Fadel, Managing Partner - Growth, declared:

“Our mission is to support founders who are scaling globally and reinventing the way business is done by leveraging artificial intelligence. This ambition is shared and carried out collectively by a dedicated, diverse and global team who identify early the next big opportunity, the latest innovation, its boundaries and its opportunities for growth. The team shares its in-depth knowledge and global perspectives with local entrepreneurs. We love to uncover category-defining entrepreneurs across Europe, and our commitment to backing them is stronger than ever. We sincerely thank all those who have placed their trust in us in this closing, making this new journey possible.” 

Christophe Bavière and William Kadouch-Chassaing, Co-CEOs, underscored:

“This first closing of the Eurazeo Growth Fund IV is a defining milestone in our Growth strategy. Over the past two years, our teams have demonstrated an outstanding ability to identify and support high-potential tech companies across Europe. This success reflects a strong collective commitment, a high standard of execution, and a distinctive leadership model. The Growth strategy, overseen by William Kadouch-Chassaing, continues to gain momentum. In addition, the investment team is female-led, which remains rare in the tech ecosystem.”
