About Adara
The creation of Adara was driven by our partners’ belief that venture capital needs to bring more than money to the table. We have a strong focus on bringing in-house expertise to portfolio companies, helping them successfully develop and reach ambitious business objectives. We believe this results-orientated approach combined with strict opportunity selection optimizes success for our partners - both investors and entrepreneurs.

Adara Ventures SICAR
Adara Ventures SICAR is a Luxembourg-based investment vehicle advised by general partner, Adara Venture Partners. Adara Advisors provides advisory services to both the GP and the Adara Ventures. It is Adara’s first such vehicle; its initial closing took place in July 2005 and it operates with total capital commitments in excess of €50 million. The SICAR primarily targets Spain and Portugal-based ventures, as well as ventures based elsewhere in Europe that are committed to developing significant operations in these markets - and has already recorded one successful exit, in a Germany-based venture.
