Simplify's take

What believers are saying

  • Q3 2026 gross inflows hit €41.6bn, showing powerful fundraising momentum.
  • EQT launched AI Infrastructure and Scaleup Europe, each targeting more than €5bn.
  • October 2026 acquisitions of Stockbridge and QIAGEN expand fee AUM and consolidation optionality.

What critics are saying

  • Stockbridge closes in Q1 2027 only after regulatory approval and financing conditions.
  • Coller Capital integration could distract management while eight strategies still need activation.
  • If fundraising slips after 2026, EQT's feebase stalls and valuation multiples compress.

What makes EQT Group unique

  • EQT combines buyouts, infrastructure, secondaries, and private wealth under one platform.
  • October 2026 Coller Capital integration deepens secondaries and fee-generating AUM.
  • Abu Dhabi and Stockholm teams target Europe, U.S., and Middle East sourcing.

We just closed an employee tender offer which values ElevenLabs at $22BN, up 2x from our Series D in February. The tender was led by Wellington and T. Rowe Price, and the growth is driven by demand from enterprises to deploy ElevenAgents across sales, support, and operations. In 2022, we raised our first round at a $9 million valuation, which we announced alongside Eleven v1, our first Text to Speech model, and the first model to generate human-level speech. Four years later, as we reach our new valuation, we just released two new state-of-the-art Text to Speech models. Eleven v4 and v4 Turbo are our fastest and most emotive models yet, and are leading independent benchmarks. Alongside models, we have built a full interaction platform for AI. It allows organizations to deploy conversational agents, connected to their knowledge and systems, that interact naturally in any industry, geography, or context. This shift is driving much of our growth, with enterprise now accounting for 55% of our revenue, as businesses adopt ElevenAgents to support their customers and employees. Our technology is now used in daily operations at five of the world’s ten largest tech companies, five of the ten largest insurers, and four of the ten largest telecoms. The round was co-led by Wellington Management and T. Rowe Price, along with participation from Goldman Sachs, GIC, Ontario Teachers'​ Pension Plan, EQT Group, Sapphire Ventures, and BDT & MSD Partners. And grateful for ongoing support from existing investors including Andreessen Horowitz, Alkeon Capital, The D. E. Shaw Group, Disruptive, Evantic Capital, ICONIQ, and Lightspeed. Most of all, this round is for the team that built the last four years. We're just getting started! | 89 comments on LinkedIn

EQT opens Abu Dhabi office with $390B Middle East investing platform

Stockholm-listed EQT has opened an Abu Dhabi office as part of a new Middle East investing platform. The $390 billion investment firm has 10 staff in its new ADGM office covering deals and investor relations, targeting education, healthcare, and infrastructure investments in the region. EQT Partner Jimmy Mahtani said the firm sees opportunity in the succession wave sweeping Gulf family businesses, which alongside government privatisation drives is creating investment targets. Portfolio companies EdgeConneX, a US data centre developer, and Nord Anglia, a schools group, see potential for regional expansion. The move highlights the Gulf's growing role in attracting global capital. BlackRock will divert up to $100 billion of its international capital deployment to the Middle East, Zawya reported. Some $2.1 trillion in spending is expected in the region by 2030.
