Frequently asked questions
How does Trestle Partners source its investment opportunities?
Trestle Partners primarily sources deals through co-investment relationships with lead venture capital and growth equity firms. Rather than originating and leading rounds, Trestle participates alongside established GPs that have already completed primary diligence. This approach relies on a network of institutional relationships that give Trestle access to vetted companies, though the specific partner firms are not publicly disclosed.
Which sectors does Trestle Partners explicitly focus on?
Trestle Partners concentrates on enterprise software, artificial intelligence and machine learning, cybersecurity, and industrial technology. These sectors represent durable, high-margin categories where co-investment opportunities frequently arise from larger venture rounds. The firm does not appear to target consumer internet, life sciences, or hard-tech hardware, which have different capital intensity and co-investment dynamics.
