Morphosis Capital Fund II, a growth capital fund focused on developing high-growth SMEs, announces its first investment outside Romania by taking a minority shareholding position in EnduroSat, a leading European provider of high-end satellites and space services. The investment is part of a broader funding round aimed at accelerating EnduroSat's expansion and continued innovation in the rapidly evolving “New Space” industry.
This acquisition marks the third transaction for Morphosis Capital Fund II, having committed to deploy over 30% of the Fund's investable capital within the first seven months of the first closing of the fund. The EnduroSat investment follows investments in Mark Twain International School and La Cocos, further demonstrating the fund's commitment to diversifying its portfolio across multiple sectors.
With a mandate to support entrepreneurial success stories across the Central and Eastern Europe and a total committed capital of over €100 million, Morphosis Capital Fund II continues to seek investment opportunities in healthcare, technology, niche manufacturing, consumer products and retail, and B2B services, with a focus on companies demonstrating strong operational performance and scalability.
