Keyframe emphasizes building long-term partnerships with its portfolio companies, providing not only financial capital but also strategic support to foster their growth and achieve their objectives.

Keyframe's investment strategy is characterized by its adaptability, allowing them to participate in various stages from growth equity to late-stage venture and private equity transactions. They are known for their comfort with complexity and often seek out situations that require creative financial solutions. Their portfolio showcases a broad industry appetite, including significant investments in sectors such as fintech, digital assets, logistics, and advanced manufacturing, demonstrating a sector-agnostic yet value-driven approach.

The firm has successfully raised substantial capital, with its latest vehicle, Keyframe Capital Partners III, L.P., closing at $750 million in 2021.
