I truly appreciate the varied perspectives from investors around the world.

We invest across venture, private credit, broadly syndicated loans, and private equity, with a strong focus on the U.S. middle market. Our strategy is barbelled — we invest either in stable, lower-tech businesses or in technology disruptors.
This was my second time participating, and I truly appreciate the varied perspectives from investors around the world. Even though we focus on U.S. markets, it’s very valuable to hear how others view opportunities, both from outside and within the U.S.
