ABOUT US

Spore Finance is an Emerging Markets Private Equity Firm with a focus on fast-growing markets in the Western Balkans and Africa. We bring our network of relationships, capital and expertise to our portfolio companies, facilitating their faster growth and increased profitability. We invest to create fast growth and long-term value through strategic acquisitions.

Our experts bring close personal relationships and an in-depth understanding of emerging markets to every deal. Experienced in frontier markets and focused on detailed due diligence, they are our well-rounded leaders who ensure the most likely long-terms success. Together, we make for a better way in the private equity business.

At times of apparently inevitable global recession, market crisis and energy crisis, few frontier emerging markets stand very strong chances to remain unimpacted by the global crisis, as they have been during and after the 2008 global financial crisis. The relationships we have cultivated over the last two decades have put Spore in the ideal position to leverage the opportunities presented by emerging markets.
