Sageview Capital
Growth capital for technology and services companies, from the Peninsula and Greenwich.
Acerca de
What does a private investment firm do for the companies it backs? Sageview Capital answers that question on its own site under four headings, Focus, Value, Portfolio and Insights, and the short version is that it takes minority growth positions in financial services, technology and business services companies and works with their founders to scale them. Chamber records list the firm on Lytton Avenue in Palo Alto with Roberto Avila as vice president; the firm's website now gives a Concar Drive address, which is in San Mateo, while still labelling the office Palo Alto. The phone number has not changed. A second office is in Greenwich, Connecticut.
How the firm describes its work
Sageview presents itself as a growth investor rather than a buyout shop: it buys a minority stake, sits alongside the entrepreneur rather than replacing them, and contributes capital, introductions and operating help through the period when a company is moving from early traction to scale. The sectors it names are financial services, technology and business services.
For a Bay Area business owner, this is a firm to approach when the company has real revenue and a plan that needs more capital than a bank will lend, and when the founders want to keep control. It is not a seed investor and not a lender.
Approaching an investor like this
Have a short deck, three years of financials and a clear use of funds before you make contact; growth investors screen quickly. Ask about typical cheque size, the stage and revenue range the firm targets, what board or governance rights it expects with a minority stake, and how long it usually holds a position. Ask for introductions to founders it has backed. The firm publishes a general email address for enquiries alongside its phone number.
Where it operates
The Peninsula office serves Palo Alto, Menlo Park, Mountain View, Los Altos, Stanford, East Palo Alto, Sunnyvale and Redwood City, and the firm invests nationally from its two offices. The Lytton Avenue address in chamber records is in downtown Palo Alto near University Avenue and the Caltrain station.
Reach the firm on 650-473-5400 or through the contact page on its website.

Preguntas frecuentes
Típico de este tipo de negocioWhat kind of company does a growth-equity firm invest in?
Usually a business with meaningful revenue and a proven product that needs capital to expand. Ask the firm for its target revenue range, typical cheque size and the sectors it focuses on before sending a deck.
Will I give up control of my company?
A minority investment leaves founders with majority ownership, but investors normally negotiate board seats and protective rights. Ask exactly which decisions would need the investor's consent.
How do I contact an investment firm?
A warm introduction from a lawyer, banker or portfolio founder works better than a cold email, but firms do publish general enquiry addresses. Send a short summary first and the full deck on request.
Is the firm registered?
Investment advisers and private fund managers above certain thresholds register with the SEC. You can check a firm's filings on the SEC's EDGAR system and its adviser registration on the IAPD database.
