More than capital

We know that founder-investor fit is important, which is why we seek a partnership built on trust and a shared mindset with the entrepreneurs we work with. Typically, making just four to five investments per year, we run a concentrated portfolio to help ensure every company we back receives the resources they require.

We aim to empower management teams to drive growth, drawing on decades of experience to help ambitious companies scale and maximize potential. Each portfolio company has access to our Global 2000 and Sageview networks, which we've built through our 150+ combined years of investing & 70+ corporate board seats held. With this robust network of board members and executives across industries, we strive to connect our companies with the customers, executives, and talent required to grow their businesses.

Entrepreneurs understand the businesses they've built better than we do. Rather than applying a formulaic operating playbook to each company, we collaborate on a custom approach, leveraging our decades of operational experience and network in scaling many successful companies. We support without seeking control. Although we are typically minority investors, we strive to take a lead investor mindset with board representation.

Twenty percent of the Sageview Funds’ capital comes from our team. That personal commitment helps ensure we are aligned with the interests of the entrepreneurs we support and those of our investors.
