Frequently asked questions
What is Tempo Capital Partners' investment strategy?
The firm executes a multi-strategy private equity mandate covering growth equity, late-stage venture, expansion capital, and secondary transactions. This allows Tempo to invest directly in companies seeking growth funding while also acquiring LP stakes and portfolios through secondary purchases, primarily across European and North American markets.
Does Tempo invest directly in companies or only through secondary transactions?
Tempo invests through both direct primary rounds and secondary transactions. Its direct practice targets growth and expansion-stage companies, while its secondary arm acquires existing fund interests and portfolios, giving the firm dual access to private market opportunities.
What is Tempo's geographic focus?
Tempo concentrates on developed private markets, with primary coverage across Europe and North America. Its London headquarters anchors European origination, and the firm evaluates opportunities across these regions for both direct investments and secondary deals.
How is Tempo Capital Partners structured?
Tempo operates as a private equity manager combining direct growth investing with a secondary and special-situations capability under one roof. This hybrid structure is less common than pure-play venture or secondary firms and allows Tempo to apply its sector diligence across both primary and secondary deal types.
