Summary
Spanish venture capital manager Seaya has secured €600m at the first close of its new European growth investment fund, according to AltAssets. The vehicle is targeting €1bn in total commitments, and the first close was reached in just six months, a timeline that the publisher summary highlights as notably fast for a fund of this scale.
The first close is anchored by a €300m commitment from the European Investment Fund, which had been announced previously. The EIF's participation is a meaningful institutional endorsement of Seaya's growth strategy and provides a substantial portion of the capital raised to date.
Alongside the fundraise, Seaya is opening an office in London, according to the headline of the report. The move indicates the manager's intention to build a presence in a major European financial hub as it deploys capital into growth-stage companies across the continent.
