Our History

Capricorn Venture Partners NV was established in early 1993 as a joint venture between Dr Jos B. Peeters and Baring Venture Partners Ltd. In December 1999, Dr Jos B. Peeters and Professor Philippe Haspeslagh, chairman of Capricorn Venture Partners, acquired the shares held by Baring (now ING).

Since then, the company has been operating as a partner-owned, independent management company. In line with its growth into a management company for alternative investment funds, the company was renamed Capricorn Partners in August 2019.
