18moons
18moons was established in 2018 in Newton, Massachusetts, as a multi-family office serving a small group of families. Its wealth origins are not publicly attributed to a specific individual or family branch, consistent with the firm's preference for discretion. The firm pursues a direct investment strategy across multiple asset classes including private equity, venture capital, and real assets. It engages in co-investments alongside established institutional general partners and targets control and growth-equity situations. Geographic focus includes North America and Western Europe, with portfolio companies typically in the technology, healthcare, and industrials sectors. 18moons maintains a lean team structure; professional headcount is not publicly disclosed. The firm operates from a single office and does not publicly list additional locations or philanthropic vehicles. There are no known recent operational events in the public record. A structural differentiator is its multi-family office model that pools capital from several families to pursue direct deals — a structure that offers individual families access to institutional-caliber opportunities without the overhead of a single-family office.
