We offer investors opportunities others don’t, because we see deals others can’t.
We identify off-market opportunities to co-invest with selected investors in high growth companies within 3 years of a defined IPO exit.
We don’t follow trends, we follow the road less invested.
We spotted Spotify, we hailed Uber before the traffic, and enrolled with Coursera before it graduated. We see tomorrow’s unicorns today, and we consistently outperform the market.
Over 14 years, we’ve generated a 61% Realised IRR, a 3.5 times return with an average hold period of 3.5 years.
Through its global network and proven technology sector expertise, the firm is able to source and invest in the most elusive private companies which are on a clear trajectory to IPO.
To date, the firm has invested $800m in 23 technology companies including Upgrade, Spotify, Paytm, Delos, Xiaomi, Twitter, Nextdoor, Alibaba, Lookout Mobile Security, Auto1, Coursera, Uber and Lyft, realising industry-beating high returns and building a strong reputation for ‘picking winners’ on behalf of investors.
