Equiam is an investment management firm that focuses on dynamic portfolio management and flexible deal sourcing in the venture capital and private equity space.

Equiam

EQUIAM is a non-traditional, systematic private investment firm. We use deeply researched, proprietary, data-driven algorithms to make our investment decisions. 

Our firm focuses on finding great firms and capturing the high returns associated with these bets, but we are equally invested in bringing world-class portfolio engineering practices to the private markets, mitigating risk and increasing long-term performance. This focus, along with our proven execution capability, allows us to offer our investors diversified portfolios of private firms designed to outperform in even the most challenging environments.

Traditional, network-driven, venture/growth investing is ripe for disruption, as increased competition and the need to write larger checks have degraded value-ad. We believe there is space for a new breed of non-traditional capital providers. These players are bringing the same level of rigorous, quantitative analysis that revolutionized the public markets to an otherwise opaque and clubby investment space. Our current data access, combined with the development of more liquid private capital markets allows EQUIAM to be a key disruptor in this space.

The EQUIAM team is uniquely equipped to deploy our strategy. We have over 40 years of experience launching and operating investment firms, developing robust quantitative strategies, and executing hundreds of millions of dollars in primary and secondary transactions. EQUIAM's first fund currently grades out in the top 1% of VC funds launched in the 2019 vintage year with a 1.75x DPI (per Cambridge Associates). 

Our core mission is to deliver outsized returns by modernizing the way people invest in the companies that are modernizing the world.
