Investment Strategy
SCP specializes in two broad stages of investment: early-stage venture capital and growth equity. SCP is dedicated to helping talented management teams and entrepreneurs build value in their companies. The firm’s investment strategy is driven by a focus on high growth companies with strong fundamentals and a unique market opportunity. The firm is not limited to a narrow set of investment criteria and has a diversified approach to the stages and securities in which it invests. SCP is flexible in providing capital in a manner that addresses the goals of management and shareholders of the companies.
SCP early-stage investments are typically in the form of Series A venture funding for companies that have proven an initial set of assumptions and attracted an exceptional core management team. The firm applies its company-building expertise, vast network of resources and deep capital base to help its early stage portfolio companies become leaders in their respective markets. SCP growth equity investments are in revenue-generating companies with proven business models that are seeking larger amounts of capital to accelerate growth.
