Greenfield Partners

Greenfield Partners was established in 2016 as a TPG Growth investment platform, with the core team working together ever since. By 2019, Managing Partner Shay Grinfeld and the group spun out to pursue the strategy independently, blending late-stage institutional rigor with the operational hustle of the Tel Aviv tech ecosystem from which it operates. Dual-headquartered in Tel Aviv and New York, the firm channels its deep Israeli roots and global network into scaling technology companies worldwide. The firm targets early-growth stage companies globally, stepping in when founders must transition from founder-led sales to a disciplined go-to-market organization. Its portfolio spans AI infrastructure, cybersecurity, deep tech, fintech, and enterprise software, with confirmed positions including VAST Data, a data platform for the AI era, Silverfort, an identity security company, and AI-native security hyperautomation firm Torq. Geographic reach stretches across North America, Europe, and the Middle East, with the firm executing through direct equity investments and leveraging a proprietary GTM platform called ORION to analyze and optimize sales mechanics. Greenfield's 18-person team is led by Managing Partner Shay Grinfeld alongside General Partner Raz Mangel, Partner Itay Inbar, and a dedicated operating team under Nir Goldstein, Head of the G2M Platform. The team applies a Seven Pillars methodology across over 20 internal playbooks covering market strategy, sales execution, pipeline generation, and customer success. The firm's spinout from TPG Growth in 2019 remains its most defining operational event, marking its shift to an independent global strategy focused entirely on converting product validation into efficient, scalable revenue. No separate philanthropic or adjacent wealth-management vehicles are disclosed. Structurally, Greenfield differentiates through its in-house G2M operating platform. Unlike traditional growth equity firms that rely on board-level advice, Greenfield embeds operators and its ORION data system to systematically stress-test and rebuild a portfolio company's entire go-to-market apparatus. This makes the firm function as a hybrid between a growth-stage investor and a hands-on revenue consultancy, a posture that directly targets the most common failure point for venture-backed companies exiting the early stage.

Frequently asked questions

How does Greenfield Partners source its investments?

Greenfield relies on its dual presence in Tel Aviv and New York to generate proprietary deal flow. The team's deep ties to the Israeli technology ecosystem — where many of its portfolio companies originate — combined with a global network, provides early visibility into companies reaching the early-growth stage. The firm's operational expertise in go-to-market strategy also attracts founders specifically seeking help crossing the product-market-fit chasm.

Who runs investment decisions at Greenfield Partners?

Managing Partner Shay Grinfeld leads the firm, with General Partner Raz Mangel and Partner Itay Inbar forming the core investment leadership. Founding Partner Yuda Doron provides continuity from the firm's TPG days. The team has worked together since 2016, maintaining a consistent decision-making group through its spinout from TPG Growth in 2019 and subsequent independent operation.

Is Greenfield Partners structured as a venture firm or a private equity firm?

Greenfield operates as an early-growth stage investment firm that sits between traditional venture capital and later-stage growth equity. It deploys private equity capital but distinguishes itself through an in-house go-to-market operating platform — staffed by operators, not just investors — designed to actively build out the sales and marketing engines of its portfolio companies rather than merely advising boards.

Does Greenfield Partners run a fund-of-funds or only direct deals?

Greenfield makes direct equity investments in companies. Its operating model demands a concentrated, hands-on approach incompatible with a fund-of-funds structure. The firm does not publicly indicate any fund-commitment program, and its team page lists a Head of Capital Formation focused on raising direct investment vehicles.

What is Greenfield's relationship with TPG?

Greenfield was founded inside TPG Growth in 2016 as a dedicated technology investment platform. The team spun out as an independent firm in 2019, taking the strategy, team, and portfolio with it. There is no disclosed ongoing formal affiliation, though the firm's heritage under a major private investment organization shaped its institutional processes.

What does the G2M platform actually do for portfolio companies?

The G2M Platform is an embedded operating team led by Nir Goldstein, Head of the G2M Platform, that works inside portfolio companies to implement scalable sales and marketing processes. It uses a proprietary data system called ORION to analyze leading go-to-market indicators, then applies over 20 internal playbooks across seven pillars — including sales execution, pipeline generation, and customer success — to systematically increase the odds of efficient scaling.

Which sectors does Greenfield Partners avoid?

Greenfield's stated and observed portfolio concentrates on enterprise and deep technology — AI infrastructure, cybersecurity, fintech, insurtech, robotics, and industrial tech. The firm does not disclose excluding specific sectors, but its portfolio and stated focus show no presence in consumer goods, traditional retail, oil and gas, or real estate development.
