Global Tech Fund

The Global Tech Fund is a concentrated portfolio of tech businesses (10-20), selected for their defensible growth potential over the long-term. Our approach is to deeply understand a company’s team, business model, competitive positioning and growth drivers. Our goal is to invest in companies that will become very large, important companies over time.
