Venture capital is a long-term investment that can provide outsized returns, diversification, and inverse correlation to public markets. Investing in VC funds and young companies not only fuels innovation but also creates jobs, and helps societies and economies progress.
We believe the European lower-middle market offers some of the most attractive investment opportunities on a global scale. This segment is characterized by fragmentation: language and cultural barriers that impede intermediation and competition, and therefore translate into lower levels of debt and more conservative pricing.
As the private equity fund model grew over competitive in the last decade and is currently bordering on saturation, managers that exploit situational deals provide a safe haven to investors whose traditional portfolios have underperformed.
We want to bring insight, research, and a creative approach to limited partners who are looking for new GP relationships.
Similarly, we aim to help managers navigate the challenges in the nuanced art of fundraising.
Partnerships in the illiquid alternatives are poised to last more than a decade. A VC fund life generally spans 10 years, while other strategies offer 7 year lock-up terms. Such a diluted time horizon requires trust and shared ethical value at the core of any LP-GP interaction.
These are the natural foundations of outperformance. Research and data increasingly point to the correlation between a firm's performance and the diversity of its team. We only work with managers whose diverse and inclusive perspectives can enhance decision making processes and portfolio construction.
