Frequently asked questions
What is Limestone Capital's core investment strategy?
Limestone runs a generalist mandate covering venture capital and complex situations — restructurings, carve-outs, and event-driven opportunities. The firm invests across the full venture lifecycle from seed and startup rounds through late-stage growth, while running a parallel book targeting special situations that are uncorrelated to venture cycles. This dual-track approach is uncommon among Swiss asset managers.
Does Limestone Capital invest primarily in Switzerland?
Limestone is headquartered in Zug, Switzerland, but its investment scope is European rather than purely domestic. The firm's generalist and complex-situation strategies are not geographically constrained to Switzerland, though specific portfolio companies and co-investor locations are not public.
What investment stages does Limestone Capital target?
Limestone covers the full venture continuum: early stage, seed, startup, expansion, late stage, and growth equity. On the special-situations side, the firm pursues complex, event-driven opportunities that do not fit neatly into stage-based frameworks. This broad remit requires underwriting capabilities that span pre-revenue startups and distressed corporate events.
Does Limestone Capital disclose its assets under management?
No. Limestone has not publicly disclosed an AUM figure. In the absence of a regulatory filing or firm communication containing a number, the firm's total capital base is not verifiable through open sources.
