We are pleased to share that Maguar, a Munich-based investor group focused on B2B software companies in the DACH region, has closed Maguar 2 at EUR 306 million, significantly exceeding the EUR 250 million target.

Maguar 2 will see the firm continue its strategy from Fund 1: partnering with and investing in small-cap, profitable and growing software companies in the DACH region and helping them to become “regional and/or sector champions”. The fund close is nearly three times the size of the previous fund and attracted strong demand from existing and new investors. 

Asante served as exclusive global placement agent.
