Tikehau Capital, a global alternative asset management group, together with its local partner Impact Bridge, a Spanish fund manager specializing in impact investment, has announced its intention to launch two Spanish investment vehicles dedicated to the cybersecurity sector. The first vehicle, Tikehau Cybersecurité Private Equity II, SCR, S.A. (Venture Capital Company), already established, will target professional investors. The second will be an FCR (Venture Capital Fund) aimed at retail clients of private banks in Spain.
This launch responds to the growing demand for investment solutions in the digital security space, a sector experiencing constant growth due to the increasing complexity of cyber threats. Tikehau Capital aims to support European companies with high global scalability potential in this space, with investments ranging from 10 to 50 million euros.
“The field of cybersecurity is evolving at a dizzying pace, and companies need strategic resources more than ever to face the growing digital threats. With the launch of these two vehicles, our goal is not only to provide capital but also to drive innovation in this sector. The alliance with Impact Bridge will allow us to support the companies leading the digital transformation and the protection of key infrastructures. As active investors, our commitment is to stay close to management teams and help them expand their business through Tikehau Capital's international network”, said Christian Rouquerol, Co-Head of Iberia at Tikehau Capital.
Meanwhile, Iñigo Serrats, CFA, Managing Partner and co-founder of Impact Bridge, commented: "We are very excited about this strategic alliance with Tikehau Capital, a leading European alternative asset manager with deep knowledge and experience in managing both traditional and impact investments. We are convinced that it will help to enhance our core values: professional excellence, authentic impact, and shared value".
Strong growth in Spain
Since its entry into Spain, Tikehau Capital has significantly strengthened its presence in the country through strategic investments in Private Equity (PE), Private Debt (PD), and Real Estate (RE). Under the leadership of David Martin and Christian Rouquerol, recently appointed Co-Heads of Iberia, the firm has played a decisive role in the development of the Iberian market, betting on sustainable and long-term investment. Additionally, the appointment of Mario Armero as non-executive chairman has been crucial in consolidating Tikehau Capital's growth strategy in Spain and Portugal, providing a strategic vision that has enabled the firm to increase its visibility and presence in local markets.
Since opening its Madrid office in 2017, Tikehau has actively worked to shape the investment landscape in the region, creating value for its stakeholders and building a solid portfolio across key strategic sectors. With its team of 18 professionals in Madrid, the office has strengthened its distribution capacity and established strategic alliances that have expanded Tikehau Capital's footprint in the Iberian Peninsula.
