How Abac grew from a single investment strategy into an integrated, multi-strategy platform.

Our History

A platform strengthened by every strategy.

Since 2014, Abac has evolved from a single investment strategy into an integrated firm spanning three distinct but mutually reinforcing strategies. Founded by Oriol Pinya, Borja Martínez de la Rosa and the late Javier Rigau, Abac has progressively broadened its perspective, relationships and operating capabilities.

What began in Mid-Market Buyout later expanded into Venture Capital and Lower Mid-Market, giving us a broader understanding of how companies are built, professionalised, transformed and scaled at different moments in their development. By investing through Abac Nest Ventures in technologies reshaping industries, while supporting their adoption across the businesses backed by Abac Mid-Market and Abac Horizon, we have developed a distinctive perspective on how digitalisation can strengthen competitiveness and drive long-term value creation. The three strategies allow knowledge, networks and capabilities to circulate across the firm, while sharing the same investment discipline, close partnership and accountability for progress.
