Sageview Capital

Sageview Capital is an investment firm that backs software and technology-enabled businesses. It usually takes a minority stake and asks for a board seat, acting as an active partner rather than a passive financier. The firm says it works out an approach with each founder instead of applying a fixed operating playbook.

What Sageview Capital offers

• Minority investment — takes minority positions while bringing the mindset of a lead investor.
• Board representation — sits on the boards of the companies it backs.
• Operating support — advice across organisational design, go-to-market strategy and other operating and finance basics.
• Tailored approach — works with entrepreneurs on a plan built around each business, drawing on its own operating experience and network.

Who it works with

Founders who have built software and tech-enabled companies, including B2B or B2C software, tech-enabled platforms and e-commerce businesses that aim to change how an industry or its users operate.
