With over $800 million under management, Rustic Canyon Partners invests in venture capital stage and middle-market companies positioned for strong growth. We typically invest in private, growth stage companies that capitalize on opportunities created by technology change, market evolution, regulatory shifts or other factors. To date, we have invested in a broad array of technology-driven and middle-market companies in sectors such as communications, software, IT infrastructure, digital media, business and information services, materials science and efficient energy.
We invest across the equity continuum, from seed stage companies to leveraged buyouts. Our venture capital investments typically range from $2-4 million initial investment, while our investments in more mature businesses are significantly higher. We are long term investors and reserve substantial capital to support our portfolio companies through multiple rounds of financing. We prefer to take lead positions in the investments we make, though this is not a requisite. We are hands-on investors seeking to add significant value to our portfolio companies; therefore we generally require board representation and have a preference for West Coast-based companies given the footprint of our operations.
