StarVest Partners

Based in New York City, StarVest Partners is a growth equity firm that has spent close to two decades investing in business-to-business, technology-enabled services companies. Its sector focus includes software-as-a-service, data and analytics, e-commerce infrastructure and digital marketing services. The firm's roots lie in backing companies at the expansion stage, though its current portfolio sits mainly within growth equity and later-stage investing. Its site lists a number of past outcomes involving its portfolio companies, including acquisitions by larger technology and financial services businesses such as Oracle, Nielsen, Entelo, Mastercard and JPMorgan Chase, and a deal bringing AI-powered marketing capabilities to the latter, alongside its long operating history in the city.
