Our take
Built on the belief that building enduring companies is one of the hardest challenges in business (and that only a few can achieve it), Greyhound Capital is a growth equity firm seeking out those companies that have the potential to be exceptional - and then supporting them to reach this potential.
Greyhound's intention is to make long-term, concentrated investments in businesses it firmly believes in. It strives to identify opportunities as early as possible through a robust research-led approach, which the firm assures will lead to market leading investment returns.
The company is still in its early stages, but has already backed the likes of Revolut, Deliveroo, TravelPerk and Satispay among others. It is investing from its third fund, and boasts $1.4 billion in assets under management on behalf of institutional investors, non-profits, and individuals
