Investment thesis
Elsewhere Partners provides growth capital to exceptional, ambitious B2B software and services companies that have achieved substantial traction with limited outside funding. It targets companies frequently located outside traditional growth capital hubs that have bootstrapped or built capital-efficient businesses and are ready for the capital, connections, and expertise needed to reach their next growth milestone. The firm emphasizes a pragmatic approach to scaling, respecting the natural timing and sequencing of business growth, and pairs transitional capital with transformational operating expertise delivered through a network of operating advisors. It focuses on IT infrastructure, cybersecurity, business applications, and healthcare IT companies with $3-15M in ARR headquartered in North America, Israel, or Europe, typically via majority recapitalizations.
