About Us

Edgecap is a London- and Tallinn-based mid-market private equity and growth capital firm targeting investments into high-quality companies in Europe. It was founded in 2021 by Kristjan Piilmann and Chris Backes, who have 20+ years of combined private equity and investment banking experience at bulge bracket firms including PSG Equity LLP, Morgan Stanley, Citi and Goldman Sachs.

We seek to deploy EUR 10-100 million equity per investment and partner with ambitious founders and management teams to develop strong local businesses into pan-European and global champions. We exclusively invest into sectors with favorable long-term dynamics.
