About Us
As mid-to-late-stage growth investors, we monitor a number of emerging technologies, including Cloud Computing, Machine Learning, Computer Vision, DevOps and Cybersecurity. We have developed a deep network of enterprise partners, executives and potential customers for our portfolio companies in a variety of industries such as CRM software, Database Infrastructure, BI Tools, Cybersecurity, AI / ML technologies, Media / Gaming and Digital Advertising. In addition to providing growth capital, we leverage our network and knowledge to help emerging companies scale faster.
We support companies and visionary entrepreneurs that focus on excellence and possess immense creativity and resilience. We prefer to target “under-the-radar” segments and cities across North America, Northern Europe and Israel.
We specialize in minority late-stage growth investments as either the lead investor or follower. We also partner, for direct investing, with private equity funds looking to expand their check size.
Our entrepreneur-friendly capital providers consist of family offices who understand how businesses are built and the challenges they face scaling on a daily basis. Our growth capital is flexible depending on the unique needs of your business.
Our Advisory Board consists of entrepreneurs who are respected global technology business leaders. They provide unique insights, customer connections and talent recommendations to our portfolio companies.
We focus on two main areas: B2B Application and Cloud Infrastructure Software and have investment teams in Los Angeles, New York, London, San Francisco and Dallas.
Principia is Latin for principles. We are principled in everything we do, from our disciplined investing approach to our high standards of conduct in relationships with companies and investors.
