As a specialist firm focused on private technology company investments, CF Tech has maintained its strategic discipline since its founding but has expanded its sector expertise to encompass four primary investment strategies:

Firms invested in range from some large and medium-cap technology companies and tech-enabled businesses in emerging markets, through to growth capital investments.

Investing in Market Leaders Positioned for Dynamic Growth

Leveraging a deep network of relationships throughout the global technology industry, CF Tech seeks to cultivate proprietary or specialised investment opportunities not typically available to generalist investors. We look for firms with a potential to have a leading position in its market, a competitively advantaged business model, a strong management team, proprietary core technologies, sound business processes and the potential for transformational value creation.

Our investments total the multi-millions and we directly contribute to around 60,000 people globally through our investments with revenues in the billions.

Partnership with Premier Management Teams

Partnering with proven leaders drawn from across the global technology industry and tech-enabled businesses, CF and its portfolio company management team’s work in concert to establish and sustain differentiated competitive advantage in their respective markets. Seeking to capitalise on innovative or disruptive business models, CF Tech and its management partners aim to achieve performance metrics that are not dependent on prevailing macroeconomic conditions. CF Tech believes that its portfolio companies interact with nearly every sizeable participant in the technology value chain, providing access, relationships and insights across all sub-sectors of their opportunity set.

Value Creation Driven Through Strategic and Operational Discipline

Building upon a commitment to enhance the operational performance of its portfolio companies that has been a hallmark of the firm since its inception, CF Tech has built a dedicated value creation team with extensive operating experience around the world, including professionals drawn from some of the largest and most successful companies in the global technology industry. The value creation and investment teams work collaboratively with CF Tech’s portfolio companies to introduce new products and services, enter new global markets, launch new strategic partnerships and expand the international network of relationships available to management. The value creation team also works closely with CF Tech’s investment professionals to assist in the due diligence and evaluation of prospective investment opportunities, offering deep knowledge of a specific sub-sector or technology.

CF Tech believes its value creation initiatives have been essential drivers of past performance and will remain central to its differentiated, specialist investment strategy.
