ABOUT LIGO PARTNERS

Ligo Partners co-invests with our discrete and invitation-only consortium of like-minded investors into disruptive tech-focused deal flow sourced directly from family offices and top venture capital firms worldwide.

As of January 2024, Ligo Partners’ global platform co-invests with 3,500+ domestic and international family offices and qualified investors with a combined net worth of $330 billion who are interested in non-traditional, market-uncorrelated technology investment opportunities that (a) are not easily found - think Uber at seed; and (b) have shown resilience to changes in the recent economic environment.

Our investment team sources 60+ potential investments each month with an important selection criteria: the deal is led by a top venture capitalist or an investor in the Ligo family office community. Hence, 100% of our deal flow is warmly referred, often proprietary and mostly off-market.

Our investment committee then selectively curates top 7 direct equity and debt investments showcased via a highly time-efficient 45min curated deals monthly webinar.

Since 2022 Ligo Partners has deployed $415mm into 80 tech companies backed by tier-one venture capitalists and succedfully exited 10 companies.
