Investment Thesis

RiverPark Ventures believes in backing people building outstanding businesses. Founded by entrepreneurs to invest in entrepreneurs, they understand the challenges of building a business from firsthand execution experience. They operate as operators who bring more than capital to investments, providing insight from two and a half decades of direct business experience and a deep network of relationships. Their core belief is that ‘entrepreneurs favor other entrepreneurs as investors.’
