Upliift completes team build out and opens offices in London and Zagreb.
Upliift, the permanent equity partner dedicated to niche European software businesses, is thrilled to announce the completion of the team build out and the opening of two new offices in London and Zagreb. This expansion marks a significant milestone in Upliift’s commitment to providing unparalleled support and resources to software entrepreneurs across Europe.
With the addition of the final team member, Darren Pick, Upliift’s team is now complete and ready to drive the success of European software investments and empower software entrepreneurs across the continent.
“Building a high-performing team has been a top priority for Upliift. The recruitment process was meticulous, ensuring the selection of talented individuals with deep industry knowledge, proven experience, and a shared passion for the European software landscape.”
Alex Myers, Co-CEO at Upliift.
The company includes an investment team composed of six permanent employees and a portfolio team of four. Additionally, a small number of interns based in Zagreb support the team throughout. The team is diverse and fluently converses with software entrepreneurs in seven main European languages including English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, and Croatian.
In addition, the decision to establish offices in both London and Zagreb is driven by Upliift’s vision to be at the forefront of the European software industry and offer localized expertise to software businesses in key regions.
The London Headquarters, situated in the heart of the thriving tech ecosystem, positions Upliift at the epicentre of European software innovation. Upliift’s presence in this dynamic city enables access to an extensive network of investors, industry leaders, and partners. The London office will serve as a hub for strategic collaborations, deal sourcing, and the facilitation of growth opportunities for software businesses across Europe.
As well as the Headquarters in London, Upliift’s new office in Zagreb, the capital city of Croatia, provides strategic advantages for the firm and its portfolio companies. Zagreb has emerged as a vibrant technology hub in recent years, attracting top talent, innovative start-ups, and established software companies. The Zagreb office allows Upliift to tap into this rich ecosystem and connect with promising software businesses in South-eastern Europe. The presence of Upliift in Zagreb further reinforces the firm’s commitment to supporting entrepreneurs through the entirety of Europe.
“We are delighted to open our offices in London and Zagreb, as these strategic expansions further strengthen our commitment to supporting European software businesses,”
Michael Hammerström, Co-CEO at Upliift.
“The presence of Upliift in these key locations allows us to offer localized expertise and tap into European tech talent. We are excited to collaborate with software entrepreneurs in these regions and provide them with the necessary resources to unlock their potential and drive long-term success.”
