Verdure Capital Management

Verdure combines direct growth-stage investing with secondary market purchases, allowing the firm to originate primary deals and acquire existing stakes from early investors or employees. This dual approach provides exposure to mature private companies while retaining flexibility to structure recapitalizations and other liquidity-driven transactions.

Verdure focuses on direct transactions and secondary purchases rather than blind-pool fund commitments. The firm's strategy centers on underwriting individual companies and secondary positions, which provides more control over entry valuation and portfolio construction than a primary fund-of-funds approach would.

The firm deploys capital across enterprise software, fintech, digital health, and applied AI, typically favoring revenue-stage companies with established operating histories. Verdure's generalist technology mandate allows it to evaluate opportunities across these sub-sectors based on asset-level underwriting rather than rigid thematic allocations.

Verdure sources secondary positions through a network of venture capital GPs, corporate venture arms, and early-stage angel investors whose portfolio companies have matured beyond initial funding rounds. The firm's Brooklyn location and deal-by-deal model position it to act quickly on smaller secondary blocks that larger institutional secondary funds may not pursue.

Verdure targets expansion and late-stage venture companies, as well as growth-stage businesses with meaningful revenue traction. The secondary purchases often involve companies that have raised Series B through pre-IPO rounds, where early backers are seeking partial or full liquidity.
