Our focus is on growth, resilience and fantastic management teams. We don’t take a broad, sector-based approach, instead we focus on a limited number of subsectors. This gives us conviction and provides our management teams with greater depth of expertise.
In the subsectors we focus on, such as Cloud & Digital, Data, Financial Services, GRC, HealthTech, HR & Edtech, and Travel, our knowledge and conviction means we know quickly if we want to invest. It also enables us to help management teams on their growth plans from day one.
There’s nothing like that moment when you meet a CEO, understand their passion and are totally aligned on the opportunity ahead. You just know you want to invest.”
