Venture Capital

What we do

As an experienced investor in the venture market, we work with General Partners to build portfolios of high-conviction funds and high-quality technology-driven companies. We use proprietary information to source opportunities through our local teams in Europe, the US and Asia Pacific – leveraging LGT Capital Partners’ global private markets platform.

Our approach – why partner with us

As an active investor in the venture capital market since 1997, we have nurtured long-term relationships with a wide network of contacts among more than 400 venture capital managers globally, fostering continued deal flow. We have built a large and diversified portfolio of more than 12,000 underlying companies and closed deals across direct co-investments and secondary transactions. Our broad platform enables us to leverage the insights and expertise of our team to source, analyze and monitor investments across all the regions where we invest.
