Notable Investments
Salica operates as a multi-strategy private markets platform spanning seed equity, direct secondaries, and senior secured lending rather than a typical single-strategy VC fund, with three interlocking strategies designed to provide both upside and liquidity solutions from the same platform. The firm focuses specifically on solving Europe's venture liquidity gap through its Access Fund, which buys secondary stakes in later-stage European and UK companies at discounts to address the region's extended path to exit while providing earlier cash returns for investors.
