Fund Structure
Growth Equity
A type of private equity investment targeting established, profitable or near-profitable companies looking for capital to accelerate growth without full ownership change.
Growth equity sits between venture capital and traditional private equity on the investment spectrum. Growth equity investors target companies that have already achieved significant scale (typically $10M-$100M+ ARR) and demonstrated business model viability, but want capital to accelerate growth into new markets, fund M&A, or provide founder/early investor liquidity. Unlike buyout PE firms, growth equity investors typically take minority stakes (less than 50% ownership). Unlike early-stage VCs, growth equity investors face lower binary risk — these companies have proven models. Major growth equity firms include General Atlantic, Summit Partners, Insight Partners, and Tiger Global. Check sizes typically range from $20M to $200M+.
