Origami Capital Partners

Origami operates as an asset manager, not a blind-pool fund. It forms dedicated joint ventures with specialist operating partners to pursue specific strategies. Each joint venture has its own investment committee and capital base.

The firm targets complex situations including direct secondaries, recapitalizations, restructurings, and PIPEs. It also invests in later-stage technology companies and opportunistic real estate through its joint ventures.

Origami sources through its joint venture operating partners, who bring proprietary deal flow in their niches. The firm also fields direct inbound inquiries from companies and intermediaries seeking flexible capital for complex situations.

Origami discloses that investment decisions are made by its team of professionals, with Jack Reilly as the central point of contact for new deal inquiries. Specific decision-making authority likely varies by joint venture.

Origami formed Oquirrh Ventures in 2020 as a joint venture with Ron Heinz. The Salt Lake City-based vehicle focuses on later-stage technology companies in cybersecurity, enterprise SaaS, and data, with approximately $60 million invested since inception.

Origami appears to focus on direct transactions and joint ventures rather than commitments to third-party funds. Its strategy involves structuring bespoke capital solutions, often taking direct positions in companies or assets.

Origami does not publicly list excluded sectors. Its disclosed investments span real estate, technology, and complex special situations, suggesting a generalist mandate.
