Investment thesis

Moonfare operates an online platform that democratizes access to private equity for eligible individual and professional investors. Its co-investment offering lets investors invest directly in companies alongside leading fund managers, sourced from a network of over 250 top-tier GPs. These co-investment deals are obtained on lower fee and carried-interest terms than traditional private equity, aiming to improve IRR potential, shorten time to net positive cash flow, and deliver potentially higher returns thanks to shorter capital deployment phases and the growth potential of underlying portfolio companies. Moonfare's broader platform also spans direct funds, secondaries, open-ended funds and diversified portfolios of funds.
