Horsley Bridge Partners is a Private Equity and Venture Capital Fund of Funds, meaning it invests capital into other private equity and venture capital fund managers. Horsley does not invest in companies directly. In Private Equity, Horsley looks for ambitious partners with differentiated strategies.

In Venture Capital, we invest in leading seed and early stage venture funds that have access to the most coveted technology-related investment opportunities.

We help our companies interface with Google, providing unique access to the world's best technology and talent.
