STAFFORD VC, LLC

Thesis

Stafford Capital Partners is an independent, global investment firm founded in 2000, managing and advising on approximately $8.9 billion in assets for over 150 institutional investors. The firm specializes in real assets and private markets, with a strong emphasis on infrastructure, timberland, agriculture, and private equity. Their investment strategy centers on secondary transactions and co-investments, aiming to acquire high-quality assets at a discount to Net Asset Value (NAV). Stafford operates globally with offices in multiple cities across Asia-Pacific, Europe, and the US, and is a signatory to the UN-backed Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI), underscoring a commitment to sustainable investing. The firm offers exposure to real assets through its Stafford Real Assets division and provides solutions across private equity, venture capital, and sustainable capital via Stafford Private Markets. While investing across various stages, there's a preference for more mature assets and established companies due to the focus on secondaries. A new infrastructure equity strategy targets renewable energy, specifically revamping and repowering existing brownfield renewable assets. Stafford Infrastructure Secondaries Fund V (SISF V) closed at over $1.1 billion, and a $1.2 billion timberland continuation vehicle was established in December 2025. For Stafford VC, the typical deal range is between $10 million and $50 million.
