Iconiq Growth

Divesh Makan is the name of record on ICONIQ's SEC filings, appearing as executive officer of the general partner across the ICONIQ Strategic Partners flagship funds and the co-investment series that sit alongside them. On the growth investing side, the firm's publicly identified partners include Will Griffith and Matt Jacobson. What distinguishes the bench is less its size than what sits around it. ICONIQ was built on a client base of technology principals and their families, and that community supplies both the funds' limited partner capital and the firm's diligence network. Around the growth strategy, ICONIQ runs investment management and family advisory for those clients, a real assets practice spanning flexible-living accommodation and digital infrastructure, and ICONIQ Impact, a collaborative philanthropy arm the firm says has passed half a billion dollars of commitments. Growth-stage management teams are effectively buying access to that network rather than to a large investment staff.

ICONIQ Capital was built around a community of technology principals and their families, and launched its growth investing arm, ICONIQ Growth, in 2013. The flagship series runs under the ICONIQ Strategic Partners name and files from San Francisco. ICONIQ Strategic Partners IV, L.P. filed a Form D in December 2018 as an indefinite-amount offering, with ICONIQ Strategic Partners IV GP, L.P. as general partner and Divesh Makan named as executive officer. The firm has since announced its seventh flagship fund with $5.75 billion of committed capital, a substantial step up from the prior vintage, and reported more than 140 business partnerships, 27 portfolio company IPOs and over $1.5 trillion of aggregate market capitalization across roughly eleven years of the strategy. ICONIQ also runs a heavy single-deal program alongside the flagships: SEC records show dozens of ICONIQ Strategic Partners Co-Invest series vehicles, including a 2016 series that reported $400 million sold and another that reported $77.3 million, letting the investor base concentrate capital into individual positions outside the funds.
