Avenir

What they do

Founded in 2017 by Andrew Sugrue and Jamie Reynolds, Avenir Growth Capital is a private investment firm focused on scaling technology-enabled businesses. The firm operates with the core belief that durable companies are built over decades, not quarters, and deliberately concentrates its capital into a select few high-conviction companies per year. Avenir is known for its research-driven, first-principles approach to identifying inevitable paradigm shifts in large markets, backing world-class operators who have established product-market fit and are seeking capital to accelerate expansion.

What they look for

Avenir's stated thesis is that it "invests in the inevitable." The firm seeks to partner with extraordinary founders building category-defining companies that are best positioned to take advantage of paradigm shifts. They aim to build concentrated portfolios of dominant companies that are early in their "S" curve of growth.
