Thesis
They provide seeding for new firms, acceleration capital, co-sponsorship for acquisitions, and growth capital for launching new strategies and scaling teams. They specifically target GP seeding and growth capital for firms raising their first to fifth institutional funds, with target fund sizes of at least $250 million. New Catalyst can invest in GPs with up to $3 billion in AUM, typically those on their first to fourth fund. They invest broadly across private markets, seeking to partner with visionary founders of category-defining investment firms. Beyond capital, they offer fundraising support, working capital, deal capital, portfolio management best practices, and value creation resources. While specific check sizes per deal are not detailed, their focus on GPs raising funds of at least $250 million and a partnership with Ferghana Investment Partners (with a typical check size of $15 million-$100 million) indicates their investment range.
