Investment thesis

TVG invests directly in innovative late-stage technology companies (Series B onward) that are using technology to shape a better future, partnering actively with founders and management teams to provide global expertise, resources and guidance. It prefers to lead rounds but will also participate alongside like-minded partners, and selectively invests indirectly through fund commitments to leading venture capital and growth equity firms. As part of one of the world's largest pension plans, it brings a long-term perspective with flexible capital and no cap on investment size or duration, aiming to help portfolio companies become generational businesses. It invests across North America, Europe and Asia.
