Spire Capital invests in CEE-based companies with at least €1 million in EBITDA, primarily in the technology sector. The firm focuses on growth-stage opportunities where businesses are profitable but require capital, strategic expertise, and a long-term partner to reach their next level.
Spire’s ideal targets sit in the gap between early-stage venture funding and large buyouts (companies that are too advanced for VC but still need professional support to unlock their full potential).

Fund I is backed by a broad LP base, including Polish family offices, individual investors, the Polish Development Fund (PFR), the European Investment Fund, and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD). Local LPs and PFR represent about 45% of the committed capital.
The fund is designed to bridge the financing gap for profitable companies looking to expand operations, pursue M&A strategies, or internationalize.

The goal is to serve as a long-term partner, providing not only capital but also strategic insight, sector knowledge, and access to international networks.
