Growth equity resides at the intersection of venture capital and private equity. It is most often a minority investment in high-growth companies that are looking for capital to expand or restructure operations, enter new markets or finance a significant acquisition without a change of control of the business. Companies that seek growth capital will often do so in order to finance a transformational event in their lifecycle. These companies are likely to have existing revenue flow and a verifiable customer base matched by significant market potential but unable to generate sufficient cash to fund major expansions, acquisitions or other investments.
