Founded to fill a structural gap in European credit

GrowthPath Investments is a European growth-credit specialist. Built around a single conviction: the €1–3M senior-secured segment is the most attractive risk-adjusted opportunity in European growth credit, and it has been structurally underserved by capital platforms with the scale to address it.

A category created by math, not ambition.

Large credit platforms scaled. As they scaled, their minimum ticket sizes grew. A €500M vehicle deploying €25M per deal cannot serve a company that needs €2M. The economics don't work at any team size.

Banks filled the gap for a generation. Then Basel IV tightened capital requirements on SME lending, SVB collapsed and created a global signal, and European tech founders suddenly found themselves without a debt option between convertible notes and €10M+ facility sizes.

GrowthPath was founded by a team that had spent 7 years inside this segment, had seen the gap widen in real time, and had the origination network and underwriting discipline to serve it systematically.
