Baillie Gifford Investment Management (Europe)
Company Description
Baillie Gifford was founded in 1908 and is solely owned by its 58 partners. We back ambitious, fast-growing companies across any sector and geography. We are longstanding shareholders in trailblazing companies such as Affirm, Airbnb, AUTO1 Group, Spotify, Tempus AI, and Snowflake, investing in them while private and maintaining stakes post-IPO. In many ways, we see this as a continuation of our heritage in public markets, where we have backed Amazon, ASML, NVIDIA and other innovators for over a decade, staying invested through periods of volatility. We made our first private investment in 2012 in Alibaba and have since selectively deployed almost $10bn into more than 140 such high-potential businesses. Our current private portfolio includes companies such as Anduril, ByteDance, Databricks, FlixBus, Stripe and Epic Games.
