Description
Bracket Capital is a global investment firm based in West Hollywood, California, with an additional office in New York. The firm specializes in special situation opportunities within later-stage private companies, primarily focusing on providing liquidity to founders, employees, and early investors through secondary transactions, as well as participating in primary growth equity rounds. Their investment strategy targets disruptive technology companies across various sectors, aiming to capitalize on unique market dynamics and provide flexible capital solutions.
The firm has built a robust portfolio of high-growth, late-stage companies, including prominent names such as Stripe, SpaceX, Epic Games, and ByteDance. Bracket Capital's team has a significant track record, having collectively invested over $2 billion in private companies. This extensive experience allows them to identify and execute complex transactions in the private markets. Furthermore, the companies within their portfolio have collectively raised an impressive aggregate capital exceeding $100 billion, underscoring the scale and impact of their investments.
In 2021, Bracket Capital successfully closed its latest fund, Bracket Capital Fund II, L.P., securing $500 million in commitments. This substantial fund size enables the firm to deploy significant capital into its target opportunities. Given their focus on multi-billion dollar valuation companies and their fund capacity, Bracket Capital typically deploys first checks ranging from $10 million for smaller, opportunistic secondary transactions or participations, up to $100 million for more substantial lead investments or larger liquidity solutions. Their approach is characterized by a deep understanding of private market complexities and a readiness to engage in non-traditional investment scenarios.
