Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Oakley Capital is a verified, major European private equity firm with significant AUM (€15bn), establishing high baseline utility and traction. However, the submission itself is of low quality (e.g., 'everyone' audience, vague 'FrostWing' identity, nonsensical 'marketcap' data). The score reflects the massive real-world scale of the entity, heavily penalized by the poor quality of the evidence provided in the submission fields.

We back private, pan-European businesses with an enterprise value from €100m to €1bln+, acquiring control or co-control stakes and supporting complex deals such as carve-outs.

Our unique origination capabilities help us unearth attractive opportunities across our four core sectors: Technology, Business Services, Digital Consumer and Education.

We focus on building long-lasting, repeat partnerships with exceptional founders, many of whom go on to invest in our funds. Across the Group, Oakley manages in excess of c.€15 billion on behalf of our investors, generating consistently strong returns for all our stakeholders.
