Since entering the Irish market in 2017, growth fund BGF has deployed €97.5m across 13 investments. The head of its Irish business Leo Casey talks about investment strategy, economic headwinds, and why the firm’s model insulates it from the current M&A slowdown.

Irish software company Swrve has raised close to $140m from Isif, Atlantic Bridge and others. However, after burning through most of its funds without making a profit, the firm has now raised more $8m in debt and restructured around $10m in loan notes.
