Moonbase Capital is a global search-fund investor, backing entrepreneurs to acquire and grow established small and mid-sized enterprises. The firm operates across Europe — with active searchers in Spain, France, Italy, Germany, the United Kingdom, and Ireland — alongside selective investments in the United States and Japan. Founded and led by former SME operators, Moonbase pairs disciplined capital with hands-on mentorship, supporting its entrepreneurs through every phase of the search-fund journey.

Sofico’s partnership with Moonbase Capital extends its reach into the global search-fund asset class — a category that combines the operational rigor of private equity with the entrepreneurial upside of venture capital. The investment reflects Sofico’s commitment to backing talented operators building enduring businesses in international markets, and aligns with its broader philosophy of patient capital, succession-aware investing, and cross-border value creation.
