Venture capital to pre-public equity, under one mandate.

Venture Capital

Early-stage and Series A–C investments in companies developing artificial-intelligence infrastructure , compute, data, energy and the physical layer beneath the models, and frontier technology more broadly. The Firm leads or co-leads rounds and typically takes a board seat. Commitments in this strategy are made from US$10 million and are frequently structured to include follow-on capacity for subsequent rounds.

Growth Equity

Primary capital for companies with a demonstrated business model and the capacity to grow revenue five to ten times over the investment horizon. Minority or majority; common or preferred; alone or with Platform co-investors. The Firm’s permanent capital allows growth investments to be held well beyond the horizon of a conventional growth fund.

Buyouts

Management buyouts

Backing management teams to acquire the businesses they operate.

Management takeovers

Backing management teams to acquire control of businesses they are qualified to run.

Majority buyouts

Acquisition of controlling positions in established businesses, including take-privates and carve-outs.

Minority buyouts and recapitalisations

Significant minority positions with governance rights, and recapitalisations providing liquidity to existing shareholders.

The Firm is indifferent to the label applied to a transaction and attentive to alignment: transactions are structured around the management team and the long-term plan for the business.

Pre-Public Equity

Late-stage private rounds and pre-IPO financing for companies preparing to list, and structured or preferred equity for companies that are already public or near-public.

Direct Investments

All of the above are undertaken as direct investments led by the Firm: sourced, underwritten and executed by the Larius investment team, with the Firm as lead investor and, ordinarily, as a board member.

Family Office Co-Investments

Each transaction the Firm leads is made available to families and investor groups on the Larius Family Office Platform for co-investment on the same terms as the Firm. For a company this means a single lead investor, a single negotiation and a single board seat, with the capacity of a substantially larger group of capital behind it.

Exclusive Private Equity Opportunities

Through its family and industrial relationships the Firm receives access to private equity opportunities that are not broadly marketed, including secondary interests, direct positions in privately held family businesses and bespoke structured transactions. These are made available to Platform participants through the Investment Portal.
