Our take
Juniper Square is an investment management solutions platform that aims to empower LPs (Limited Partners) and GPs (General Partners) to expand opportunities through partnerships and make the world of private equity more transparent, efficient, and accessible. With a suite of tools that focus on CRM, fundraising, investor reporting, and an investor portal, the company has modernised and streamlined private equity management for companies such as Beacon Capital Partners, Bell Partners, and Greystar.
Founded in 2014, Juniper Square were immediately in direct competition with analytical monolith Microsoft Excel, as well as popular equity management apps like Fundwave. However, the platform has exceeded expectations, in part because of its fluid and longer-term focused software solutions that have innovated what was previously archaic and error-ridden under Excel.
Serving more than 2000 GPs, Juniper Square supports tens of thousands of investment partnerships, covering hundreds of billions in LP capital. The company has raised substantial funding, raising it to Unicorn level, which will be used to fuel rapid growth, accelerate innovation, and expand its services.
