Main Capital buys stake in Chainfood

The company will use the fresh funding to drive its international expansion through a partnering strategy. Key target sectors in the coming years include food and beverage, pharmaceuticals and consumer goods. 

The GP committed capital from Main Capital III, which launched in 2011. The fund makes investments of €2-6.5m in software companies. 

Main Capital's most recent investment saw the GP buy a majority stake in Regas, a Dutch software provider for the mental health and wellbeing industry.
