Overview of Oxx Ltd
Oxx Ltd, a relatively new European venture capital firm founded by Richard Anton and Mikael Johnsson, has raised $133 million to back “Europe’s most promising SaaS companies” at Series A and beyond.
Headquartered in London and Stockholm, the VC is pitching itself as a dedicated SaaS-focussed fund, and it will invest broadly across software applications and infrastructure.
Its investment thesis highlights five key themes: “data convergence & refinery,” “future of work,” “financial services infrastructure,” “user empowerment,” and “sustainable business,” The firm also says it wants to be more a more patient form of capital than investors with a rigid Silicon Valley SaaS mindset, which, it says, often places growth ahead of building a sustainable business.
The fund counts a number of LPs such as British Patient Capital, Pool Re, and other unnamed institutions, family offices and high-net-worth individuals.
Catherine Lewis La Torre, CEO, British Patient Capital, said: “Our mission is to enable long-term investment in innovative companies across the UK, led by ambitious entrepreneurs who want to build successful world-class businesses. The UK provides a fertile ground for innovation to thrive, but a lack of access to patient capital has held back too many companies from scaling up and fulfilling their commercial potential.
“Growth-stage funding is vital and that’s where Oxx focuses its investment, making it well aligned with British Patient Capital’s mandate. This growth-stage focus, combined with the Oxx team’s specialist knowledge of the B2B software sector, make this an important addition to our portfolio.”
*Oxx is announcing that it has raised $133m today. This was raised across several vehicles. BPC has provided a £25m cornerstone commitment to a particular vehicle that closed at £63.3m
