Elysian Capital

Elysian Capital is an independent private equity firm founded in 2007, focusing on acquiring majority stakes in lower mid-market companies across the UK and Ireland. The firm typically targets businesses valued between approximately $25 million and $125 million USD, aiming to partner with management teams to unlock growth potential through strategic and operational support. Elysian Capital distinguishes itself through its entrepreneurial, operational, and investment expertise, with team members personally investing £67 million (around $83 million USD) into its funds to align closely with management teams and investors.

The firm's approach is sector-agnostic, focusing on partnering with aspirational management teams to enhance operational expertise and create value for all stakeholders. Elysian Capital's portfolio includes companies like Activate Group, Gravity Global, D3O, and Aspirations Care. The firm operates with offices in London, Manchester, Leeds, and Dublin, providing a regional presence to better serve local business needs.

In December 2025, Elysian Capital announced a planned succession, with founder Ken Terry moving to Chairman and Mark Puttick appointed as CEO, effective January 2026. This leadership transition aims to provide a solid foundation for the continued success and growth of the firm, including the forthcoming fundraising for Fund IV.
