Laurence A. Tosi, Managing Partner & Founder, WestCap discusses the firm’s differentiated approach to growth equity investing, deal sourcing, and due diligence.
WestCap’s focus and expertise is all about helping companies scale and grow. Growth equity serves as the bridge between venture and late-stage growth or private equity and is typically a period of heightened value creation. For more than 20 years, WestCap has built, operated and capitalized tech-enabled marketplaces spanning finance, real estate, life sciences and experiences industries. “Our mission, really, is to take the smartest pools of capital, the best investors as investment partners, and introduce them to the great ideas and founders of tomorrow,” says Tosi. WestCap’s portfolio includes Addepar, iCapital, StubHub, Simon Markets, and Hopper.
As more and more advisors seek access to private companies and funds that can drive outperformance and deliver consistent income for their clients, partnering with the right team has never been more important. Investing in the next new idea, business, founder or theme can be risky. Identifying future leaders in targeted, scalable growth sectors not only requires experience, it requires access. Access is earned by the few teams who deliver operational expertise and successful track records.
Led by Founder and Managing Partner Laurence Tosi, an expert operator with a demonstrated history of building and scaling complex industry-leading global companies including Blackstone, Airbnb, and Merrill Lynch, WestCap has achieved outsized returns and 214% Net IRR from WestCap Strategic Operator Fund I. This is a rare opportunity for independent financial advisors to access one of the top growth equity funds in the world.
