JUXTAPOSE

Thesis

Juxtapose is a New York-based investment firm founded in 2015 that operates at the intersection of venture capital, venture building, and private equity. The firm's unique strategy centers on building and funding technology-driven businesses designed for longevity, often developing concepts internally before partnering with experienced CEOs to launch and scale them. Juxtapose aims to achieve venture-like returns with a risk profile more akin to private equity by focusing on companies with large addressable markets and clear needs. They focus on creating and scaling durable, technology-driven businesses in fragmented industries, with a rigorous multi-year concept development process. Preferred sectors include healthcare, wellness, life insurance, financial services, and consumer technology, with a particular interest in businesses that can achieve strong unit economics and category-defining scale. Juxtapose manages over $500 million in assets and raised a $300 million fund in 2021. While specific check sizes per deal are not consistently disclosed, the average disclosed round size across 18 rounds with reported amounts is $52.0 million. The firm reports a 100% "graduation rate" for its seed- or later-stage launches, meaning all have raised Series B or later rounds. Juxtapose does not typically evaluate third-party founder pitches, instead focusing on internally developed or acquired and consolidated businesses.
