Frequently asked questions
Who founded Concentric Team and what is their background?

At FSN Capital, he led multiple technology investments and sat on the boards of portfolio companies across Europe. His experience deploying growth capital in enterprise software and tech-enabled services shaped Concentric Team's concentrated investment strategy.

Does Concentric Team accept external LP capital?
Concentric Team raises capital on a deal-by-deal basis from institutional limited partners who co-invest alongside the firm. This differs from a traditional fund structure where LPs commit to a blind pool without advance knowledge of specific assets. The model means the firm only draws capital when a transaction is ready to close, giving LPs granular visibility into each investment.
