Investment Thesis

SQ Capital presents an active, team-first investment philosophy: they prioritise backing “quality individuals with the right skillsets” and “excellent teams,” approaching each investment with transparency, speed and real-world financial experience. They position themselves as stewards of investor capital who take long-term view over short-term noise, seeking integrity and accountability from founders while remaining willing to pursue leadership change or activism when needed.

Geographically and structurally they are flexible: the firm states its view that “the right approach to the SEE region is to be asset class/stage agnostic,” meaning they invest across public markets, private equity and VC depending on opportunity, while keeping strong alignment by investing their own capital alongside investors.

Investment Focus

Who should take a closer look

SQ Capital is most relevant for founders raising Pre-Seed, Seed, and Series A rounds in Medtech, Manufacturing, Blockchain Crypto, and Consumer, especially across Croatia, South East Europe (SEE), and Europe.

Focus statement

SQ Capital focuses on South-East Europe (SEE) with an asset-class and stage-agnostic mandate, backing founders/leaders they can comfortably partner with and where they can add operational or financial value. They manage alternative funds (Anchor, Primus, Origin, SQL, SQ Venture) and UCITS products while investing their own funds alongside external investors.

Value Add

They “invest our own funds into each Fund we manage or each investment we like together with our investors” — strong alignment of interest ('skin in the game').
Regionally focused on SEE but explicitly asset-class/stage agnostic: able to deploy into public markets, private equity, VC and turnaround situations.
Deep, multi-disciplinary team experience across asset management, hedge funds, FX trading, private company finance and operational leadership — enabling both financial and operational engagement with portfolio companies.
Willingness to take activist/turnaround positions and to push for leadership change when necessary — they look for underdog and turnaround opportunities.
A stated operating style of being “transparent,” keeping things “simple and fast,” and offering hands-on financial advisory (e.g., liquidity problem solving for startups).
