Company mission

To help portfolio companies achieve success and build a global business.

Our take

Operating since 1980, General Atlantic is a growth equity investor that helps disruptive businesses to scale globally. The company invests in six sectors - climate, consumer, financial services, healthcare, life sciences and technology - focussing on innovative businesses that have displayed strong fundamental performance and organic growth.

With decades of strategic experience, General Atlantic leverages its knowledge of global business trends to make investments that support positive transformation where it is already happening. On top of this, its Credit arm, that was established in 2023, provides a full suite of creative capital solutions for companies across different stages of their development.

Already a powerhouse in the sector, it is exciting to see that General Atlantic is moving with the times. Boasting a diversified portfolio (both cross-sector and geography), some notable partners include Venterra, an offshore wind energy company, remote care management platform Biofourmis, and popular chess app Chess.com.
