It is Main Capital's first Swedish deal following the opening of its Stockholm office in May this year. The office is led by managing partner Charly Zwemstra and senior investment manager Wessel Ploegmakers.

The GP plans to expand the business via acquisitions in the Benelux and DACH regions.

Company
Assessio was founded in 1954 as a research and development institute for the Swedish Psychology Association. The business was later acquired by Hunter Mabon, a professor whose research focused on the link between human capital and business. The company now develops software for incorporating psychological testing into HR and recruitment practices.
