Recharge Capital
Recharge Capital was established in 2016 by Lorin Gu. The firm operates as a multi-family office based in New York and maintains a thematic investment approach across defined sectors. The firm allocates across private equity and venture capital. It targets buyout through Series G stages and maintains exposure to alternative VC models, digital assets, distressed situations, and secondaries. Confirmed geographic reach includes North America, Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and South America. The Women's Healthcare Investment Vehicle has drawn co-investment from Peter Thiel and The Olayan Group. The firm reports an estimated $200 million under management. It maintains the Recharge Foundation, which holds an art collection and a jewelry collection. Lorin Gu serves on the boards of the New York Foundation for the Arts and the Museum of Arts and Design and chairs the Global Future Council at the Peterson Institute for International Economics. Recharge Capital integrates portfolio companies within its thematic value chains rather than operating solely as a passive capital provider. This structure links distribution, financing, and product development across holdings in North America and Asia.
