Who We Are - About Geneva Group

We are growth equity investors and continue to focus on technology or technology-enabled service companies that are capital efficient or have been “bootstrapped”.  We invest in companies that have early customer traction, some revenues and are showing strong growth prospects.  We pursue minority or majority investments, with our capital being used to fund expansion growth.  We welcome the opportunity to work with you to explore any growth opportunities you may see consistent with our focus.

 The pillars that define us:

EXCELLENCE:  Pursued in every aspect of our business
INTEGRITY:  A superb reputation as trusted professionals
EXPERIENCE:  Extensive information technology investment expertise and track record
RELATIONSHIPS: Deep, well-established industry relationships
FOCUS:  Senior-level attention to every transaction

 Geneva's entry into emerging markets private equity (1994), angel and venture investing was a natural extension of GenevaGroup International's leading presence as a global software advisory and executive search firm.  We’ve completed over 1,660 consulting and executive search projects.  On average, members of our venture and private equity team have 18 years' investment and operating experience.  Geneva Venture Management (GVM) is the investment manager for the Geneva Venture Partners’ Funds (GVP).  Our private equity team has invested in over 30 technology companies, generally at the seed stage.

 Geneva has assembled a unique combination of operating and investment professionals who understand the process of value creation by bringing expertise to each stage of the investment process.  We contribute much more than capital to our portfolio companies.
