Greenfield Partners Secures $400 Million to Boost Global Presence
New York, Wednesday, 19 February 2025.
Greenfield Partners has raised $400 million, increasing its assets under management to over $1 billion. The firm will focus on early growth technology investments with a new office in New York.
Major Funding Success
Venture capital firm Greenfield Partners announced on February 18, 2025, the successful closure of $400 million in capital commitments for its third fund [1][3]. The funding round attracted institutional investors from diverse geographical regions, including Israel, the United States, Europe, and Asia [3]. This significant capital injection has propelled the firm’s total assets under management (AUM) beyond the $1 billion milestone [1][3][4].
Strategic Evolution and Expansion
Originally established in 2016 as TPG Growth’s investment platform, Greenfield Partners gained independence in 2020 [1][4]. The firm has now marked a new chapter in its growth by officially opening its New York office on February 18, 2025 [1]. This expansion signifies the firm’s commitment to strengthening its global presence and enhancing its ability to identify and support promising technology companies [4].
Investment Track Record and Portfolio Success
Greenfield Partners has built an impressive portfolio that includes several notable companies. Among its successful investments is VAST Data, currently valued at $9.1 billion, alongside unicorns such as BigPanda and Capitolis [1][4]. The firm’s exit track record includes Guardicore’s $600 million acquisition by Akamai and Avanan’s acquisition by Check Point Software [1]. The fund primarily targets early growth-stage companies, typically participating in Series B and C rounds, with a focus on sectors including cybersecurity, AI, IT infrastructure, and enterprise SaaS [4].
Investment Strategy and Future Outlook
The firm employs a distinctive ‘Seven Pillars’ framework to identify and address growth bottlenecks in portfolio companies [1]. According to Managing Partner Shay Grinfeld, Greenfield Partners aims to help companies transition ‘from the controlled chaos of product-market fit iteration to a data-driven go-to-market engine that drives sustainable growth’ [4]. With the new capital and expanded presence, the firm is positioned to execute this strategy on a broader global scale [1][4].
