Rothschild Capital Partners

Rothschild Capital Partners

Rothschild Capital Partners was established in New York in 2001 by Sasson Posner and Noah V. Shalit, investing the private capital of the Edmond de Rothschild banking family. The firm functions as a dedicated technology investment vehicle for the Rothschild family, distinct from the broader Edmond de Rothschild Group's asset management and private banking operations. Full discretion over investment decisions rests with the New York-based principals. The firm concentrates on late-stage venture and growth-equity rounds in enterprise technology, financial technology, and IT infrastructure. It typically writes checks between $10 million and $50 million, prioritizing companies with proven commercial traction and established management teams. Known portfolio holdings include positions in Cybereason, the endpoint protection platform, and FundGuard, a cloud-native investment accounting system. The mandate spans North America and Israel, with the firm co-investing alongside both traditional venture funds and other family-affiliated vehicles. From offices in New York and San Francisco, the principals maintain a deliberately lean structure, operating with a small investment team that emphasizes direct relationships with company founders. The firm does not raise external limited partner capital, allowing it to structure investments without fixed fund-life constraints or predefined exit timelines. In March 2024, FundGuard closed a $100 million Series C led by Key1 Capital alongside continued support from existing backers including RCP, signaling an active follow-on posture into portfolio companies as they scale. The structural distinction lies in its hybrid architecture: a single-family vehicle that functions as a permanent-capital growth-equity shop. Unlike most family offices that invest predominantly through fund commitments, RCP pursues direct minority stakes with board-level engagement, a model that mirrors a specialist growth fund but without the fundraising cycle or return-multiplication pressures of managed vehicles.
