The fund has also backed data centre operator HyScale and the towerco Communications Tower Group.

“Our dedicated digital infrastructure team, comprised of industry veterans, investors, and entrepreneurs, has the experience to identify and source compelling investment opportunities in the lower mid-market and then help them grow and expand with our operational and strategic expertise.”
