Princeville Capital

Princeville Capital is a San Francisco-based investment firm specializing in global growth equity investments, primarily targeting rapidly-growing technology companies. Established in 2015, the firm distinguishes itself through its dual investment strategies: Princeville Global, which focuses on a broad spectrum of technology sectors, and Princeville Climate Technology, dedicated to innovative solutions addressing climate change. Their approach involves backing companies that have already demonstrated significant revenue traction and possess proven business models, often participating in Series B, C, or later funding rounds.

The firm's investment philosophy centers on identifying and supporting companies poised for substantial expansion in global markets. They seek out businesses with strong unit economics and a clear path to market leadership. Princeville Capital typically invests in a diverse array of technology sub-sectors, including enterprise software, internet services, fintech, artificial intelligence, and, through its specialized fund, various climate technology verticals such as renewable energy, sustainable mobility, and circular economy solutions. Their global mandate allows them to identify promising opportunities across continents, leveraging their international presence.

Princeville Capital has successfully raised significant capital to deploy across its strategies. For instance, their Princeville Global Fund III closed in 2021 with $330 million in commitments, underscoring investor confidence in their core technology growth equity strategy. Following this, in 2022, they closed their Princeville Climate Technology Fund II at $150 million, further solidifying their commitment to environmental innovation. Across both strategies, the firm typically deploys initial investments ranging from $10 million to $50 million, providing substantial capital to fuel the growth of their portfolio companies. This flexible check size allows them to participate in a variety of growth-stage rounds, from significant minority stakes to leading investment syndicates.
