Circularity Capital, founded in 2015, invests in opportunities created by the circular economy in Europe. The sponsor usually focuses on businesses involved in maintenance, repair, refurbishment and remanufacturing, hire or leasing-based businesses, businesses with software, technology or processes that drive asset productivity, according to Unquote Data.

The newest fund, Circularity European Growth Fund II was registered in June 2021 and is expected to follow the predecessor fund strategy. Rede Partners is acting as an advisor to the fundraising.
