Par Equity launches £100m fund to help Scottish high-growth tech companies to scale up

Edinburgh venture capital firm Par Equity has launched a £100m fund to help high-growth Scottish tech companies to scale up.

Par Equity has secured a first close of £67m with investment from bodies including the Scottish National Investment Bank and Strathclyde Pension Fund – and says the new Par Equity Ventures I LP will be a “significant boost to the prospects of scale-up companies in Scotland”.
