Miura Private Equity

What Miura Private Equity does

Miura Private Equity (legally Miura Partners) is a Barcelona-based private equity firm founded in 2008, specializing in the southern European middle market with a particular emphasis on family-owned companies. The firm manages €1.5 billion in assets under management and employs 37 professionals across its Barcelona and Madrid offices. It deploys capital through three distinct strategies — Buy-outs (controlling stakes in established mid-market companies), Impact (investments targeting measurable social and environmental outcomes alongside financial returns), and Capital a largo plazo (Long-term Capital providing patient capital for sustainable transformation).

The firm's revenue model is that of a traditional private equity manager: it raises capital from institutional limited partners and earns recurring management fees on committed or invested capital, supplemented by carried interest on realized investment returns. Portfolio value creation is achieved through operational improvement, international expansion support, and ESG integration, with the firm positioning itself as a hands-on partner to founders, entrepreneurs, and management teams. Its portfolio spans more than 90 investments since 2008 across diverse verticals including education (Educaedu), ceramics (Equipe Ceramicas), food and beverage (Grupo Tragaluz, Guzmán Gastronomía), industrial equipment (GH Electrotermia), lighting (EfectoLed), and pet retail (TiendAnimal), among others.

Miura's go-to-market is relationship-driven and B2B: deal sourcing occurs through direct outreach and proprietary networks with southern European entrepreneurs, while capital is raised through direct institutional sales to LPs rather than retail channels. The firm maintains a dedicated investor portal (miura.ecapital.es) and conducts annual general meetings, including its 18th AGM held at IESE Barcelona in May 2026. Distribution of brand and capital-raising activities is supported by a corporate website, LinkedIn presence, newsletter, and event participation. As of April 2026, the firm has added a Chief Corporate Officer role to its senior leadership bench, signaling continued organizational investment.
