Shearwater Capital invests in founders who are passionate about building generationally great companies. We invest in people, not ideas.

We focus on fast growth tech companies
...but we’re infinitely inquisitive

Our experience lends itself to founders of technology start-ups who are building growing businesses and who value our capital and experience. We look for growth equity positions, where we’re all on the same side of the table. Because we've been there before, we’re interested in simple capital tables with aligned, participating shareholders.
We don’t have limited partners (i.e. external funding sources), so we don’t have a fund horizon or strict limitations. This lets us play the long-game for the truly outstanding companies. Our view is that it's your company and we'll do what we can to help you succeed.
Fundamentally, what matters to us is that we back high integrity founders to build world-class businesses.
Our Investment Focus
This is what we value and look for in our investments. But we’re infinitely inquisitive (that is, we break rules!).
So if your business doesn’t necessarily tick all these boxes and you are raising venture / growth capital or might in the future, please drop us a line (no, it doesn’t need to be a warm intro!)
