Technology

We have been a leading investor in the technology sector for more than 40 years. Our current and historical portfolio includes a wide variety of early-stage financings, growth equity investments, management buyouts of mature market leaders, divisional spin-outs of non-core corporate assets, and private investments in public companies. We have a flexible investment mandate which allows us to take a long-term approach to our investments. We take both majority and minority positions and all companies, regardless of stage and our position, have access to the full breadth of our value-added resources.

Our Technology group has backed many notable technology innovators, including BEA Systems, UGS, Neustar, CrowdStrike, and Avalara in the U.S., Ziggo in the Netherlands, Network International in EMEA, and Bharti Telecom in India. More than two-thirds of our current technology portfolio companies are “hyper-growth” companies and we have an average growth rate of ~50% amongst our technology portfolio. We seek out mid- and late-stage companies with resilient revenue streams and defensible market positions in addition to companies with compelling growth prospects. Our primary areas of investment include: software, internet, information, financial technology, payments, technology-enabled services, logistics, mobile, cybersecurity, healthcare IT, and education technology.
