What we do
We seek attractive illiquid investments, from early-stage companies with significant secular growth opportunities to established businesses with a reliable path to profitability. We remain focused on investing in premier privately held companies, backing best-in-class management teams and supporting their ability to unlock long-term value.
With our large, dedicated capital base, we can take the long view of our investments and support the business at every stage of growth. We offer our industry insights, vast network, and resources to help businesses make strategic decisions while giving them the autonomy to run their operations.
How we identify investment opportunities
We leverage our extensive network and deep industry knowledge to identify a broad spectrum of opportunities with strong business models. With a small, dedicated team, we focus on specific themes that allow us to invest at scale with agility and conviction.
HEALTHCARE & LIFE SCIENCES
We invest across the life cycle from early compelling science to diversified platforms and late-stage programs with clinical proof of concept. We seek companies with breakthrough therapies and technologies that have the potential to create significant value.
SOFTWARE & ENTERPRISE TECHNOLOGY
We generally prioritize mid-stage B2B enterprise software companies that are positioned to benefit from architectural changes in compute. We look for businesses with strong unit economics and long growth runways that can accelerate with the right capital partner.
SERVICES (GREAT BUSINESS, GREAT MANAGEMENT)
We identify high-potential companies and top-tier management teams that need flexible capital. We look across all industries to identify companies that have the capacity to be a leading player in their relevant markets and are on a path to sustainable profitability.
