Our take
WovenLight was founded to help shape a better world through injecting data and analytics into both how it operates as an investment firm, and how value creation works at portfolio companies. In order to achieve this, it's combining technology professionals and world class investing experience.
WovenLight's mission is based on the belief that modern data analysis techniques can refine value creation by revolutionising the entire investment lifecycle. The company harnesses data to understand what drives effective performance and then exploits these findings to create better returns for investors and faster growth for portfolio companies.
The company's approach is driven by addressing global challenges - from the rise of technology to climate change - which it approaches through a diversity of experience to uncover the alternative approaches needed to solve these difficult problems. WovenLight values data not just as a single piece of analysis, but as a feedback loop, so aims to embed the ability to learn and apply new knowledge faster over time.
WovenLight's team combines diverse skillsets, cultures, and teams from both the finance and technology industries, aiming to achieve a redefinition of private equity.
