Disruptive technologies and the fast pace of the industry make the tech arena a perfect playground for ambitious entrepreneurs. The best way to prepare for accompanying these entrepreneurs is by having run businesses of your own. And that’s exactly what the members of our Technology Team had done before coming on board at Wellington Partners.

Based in two European technology hubs, London and Munich, we also know the key drivers that can get a big idea to market and enable it to live up to its national, international or global potential. At the same time, our Business Development Office in Silicon Valley assures us first-hand access to all the necessary information and contacts in this the world’s largest technology ecosystem so that we can help our portfolio companies live up to their global ambitions.

A great global Venture Partner network supports the investment team. It consists of well-established international professionals who hold influential positions and are opinion leaders in the sectors that are of relevance for our portfolio companies. They are there to assist with three elements:

• benchmarking potential investment opportunities against the global best of breed
• helping us connect these companies with the highest levels at relevant players
• bringing the right people into our portfolio companies
