EQT Growth is the growth-equity strategy of Stockholm-headquartered EQT, investing from a €2.2 billion fund launched in 2021. It backs technology companies that have reached product-market fit and are preparing to scale, with equity tickets of €50 to 250 million across enterprise tech, consumer tech, fintech, health tech and climate tech, and draws on EQT's Motherbrain data platform and in-house operating teams. In the UK it led ManyPets' $350 million Series D in 2021 and joined Nothing's Series C in 2025. Its participation in Biographica's 2026 seed round is unusual for the strategy and likely reflects EQT's wider venture platform.
