Our
Approach
World-class companies don’t materialize out of thin air. They require leadership, innovation, and a method to scale their operations successfully. Sumeru gives growth tech companies the resources to become category leaders that change the way people work and live.
With over $3 billion in assets under management, Sumeru provides growth capital, strategic insight, and operating expertise to leading technology companies in North America and Europe. We partner with founders and management to scale their businesses thoughtfully, quickly, and efficiently. We prioritize organic growth, while also seeking opportunities to accelerate scale through selective M&A.
Operational Experience
A differentiated product with well-articulated value and an outstanding customer experience are the foundations of a successful technology company. While it’s easy to write in one sentence, it’s a lot harder to pull off consistently month after month, year after year. Sumeru brings a set of operating competencies that are suited to the unique needs of growing technology companies. Whether it’s sales, marketing, customer success, product management or organizational development, Sumeru has the resources to help move the needle on company performance. We work for you.
Exceptional Insight
Companies need data-based insights to navigate an ever-changing market and position their products for maximum impact. Sumeru’s experience in analyzing thousands of technology businesses gives us strategic and tactical perspectives that can help your company achieve significant growth. We know what good looks like, and we know what not-good-enough looks like, too. Let us show you.
Capital
Choosing the right capital partner is one of the most important decisions you can make for your business. The amount, the terms, the track record, the firm culture, and the personal chemistry are all important criteria. Sumeru typically provides $50 to $200 million of capital per investment, and we manage a concentrated portfolio of less than 20 companies at a time. If you want to know more about what it’s like to work with us, please ask the founders and CEOs who we have been privileged to support.
Support
Being a founder and a CEO is often a lonely job. You carry a lot of responsibility, personally and professionally. You need the right support, somebody in your corner. Sometimes it’s a thought partner, sometimes a sparring partner. Sumeru leverages a wide team of employees and advisors to provide the support you need to grow your business the right way.
