# Itaca Capital Partners

A European backer that names what it bought.

A Barcelona firm of acquisition entrepreneurs and private equity professionals investing their own capital in a small number of searchers, global but weighted to large European markets. Its own counters say more than 200 search funds analyzed, more than 40 entrepreneurs backed and 12 countries; its pages carry 15 active searchers with a country and a person each, and 18 acquisitions with a year and a linked company.

## At a Glance

Worth a European [searcher](https://searchspheresource.com/glossary/searcher)'s shortlist, and worth any searcher's reading: its completed-deal page shows what a backer's portfolio looks like when it names the vehicle beside the company.

## What It Costs

Investment terms rather than fees: search-fund economics negotiated per the model's conventions, with the firm investing its own capital alongside an investor pool it says brings market knowledge to each deal.

## Best For

European searchers wanting a hands-on backer with operating experience, and anyone who wants to see a backer's completed deals rather than only its current searches

## Pros and Cons

- Pro: Publishes 18 acquisitions with a country, a year and a link to the bought company's own site, which is rarer than a list of current searches
- Pro: Names 15 active searchers with a country and the person behind each, so who it backs can be checked
- Pro: Says it invests its own capital in a deliberately small number of entrepreneurs and stays involved from the first day of the search to the exit
- Con: Its searchers page links no vehicle's own site, so a reader who wants to reach one has to find it themselves
- Con: The headline figures are drawn by a counter script and are absent from the page's text, so they cannot be read without running it
- Con: Terms and process are not published, which is the category norm

## What Searchers Say

A Spanish [search-fund](https://searchspheresource.com/glossary/search-fund) investor whose portfolio page is the most checkable thing it publishes: each card carries a country, a year, the bought company's own website and, on fifteen of the eighteen, the vehicle that led the deal, which is where the figures here come from.
