About

Overview

GrowthCap was founded in 2013 to facilitate the flow of capital to high growth private companies. Its primary focus is to aid CEOs, entrepreneurs, as well as large asset managers in better understanding the universe of capital alternatives offered by private equity, growth equity, venture capital, and private debt firms. GrowthCap also aims to provide company management teams with insights into how top performing companies have succeeded in scaling their businesses and in select cases enables investors to participate in private capital opportunities. While emphasis has been on select sectors including business software, business services, healthcare and consumer products and services, GrowthCap is often involved in other segments of the broader economy.
