FTV Capital

FTV was an early partner to companies at the Intersection of financial services and technology. We continue to help exceptional companies anticipate and meet evolving market demand. In 1998, as the financial services industry was beginning to channel the power of the Internet, our founders, Jim Hale, Bob Huret and Richard Garman, sought to leverage deep connections from their financial services careers to aid entrepreneurs with innovative technology and service offerings targeted at the corporate enterprise. Known then as FTVentures (Financial Technology Ventures), we began cultivating this strategic network of executives who shared exceptional market insight into the pain points and opportunities that enterprises were facing. Armed with this information, we invested in high-growth companies that were delivering solutions to meet these enterprise needs. We then tapped these strategic connections to open doors and accelerate commercial opportunities for our portfolio companies. In 2008, we renamed our firm FTV Capital to better reflect our growth equity strategy. Since our founding, we have raised $6.2 billion across seven funds and invested in over 140 high-growth companies, creating more than $40 billion in enterprise value. We attribute that success to our persistent work to harness the value of our deep domain expertise and our strategic connections, now called the Global Partner Network, to deliver transformative growth opportunities to our portfolio companies across our consistent core sectors of enterprise technology and services and financial technology and services.

Chamaeleon

Chamaeleon is a new early-stage venture capital firm that brings together 3 partners that have long collaborated as investors, operators and entrepreneurs that will focus on investing in truly transformative companies. We have learnt from our experience to see near and far, to be global and local, to be strategic and pragmatic, all at the same time. Our “superpowers” have helped numerous entrepreneurs craft breakout successes and with Chamaeleon, we will take it to the next level. For an industry that is fueled by technology, its innovations and the sometimes stratospheric returns on its investments, venture capital - in particular in early-stage - is an industry surprisingly lacking in technology, at its core. Although the operating models and playbooks used to source and do due diligence on start-ups - in our opinion, the two most core activities in VC - have evolved over time, there are very few impactful innovations around the core technology stacks that VC firms actually develop or bring together. Therefore, we are bringing a full-stack approach to VC investing with our own early-stage investing technology stack at the center of everything we do. We will also use these platforms to create value to portfolio companies and our own investors/LPs. This partnership has invested in companies like App Annie, DraftKings, Gusto, Kakao, Outsystems, Robinhood, Rubrik, Virta Health, Cloudflare, Ometria, among many other “household” names. We have led and managed 5 VC funds between us with enviable returns, including top 2 to 5 percentile funds. We have created verifiable impact at-scale as operators in such household names as NCSOFT, McKinsey & Co, GSM Association, SK Telecom, Sonae. We have jumped off a cliff before and started our own companies… and we are doing it all over again, because we don’t rest on our laurels, because we have a fundamental new way of looking and executing in this space, because we love and feel blessed by being in venture capital… and because, deep down, we just want to do this, together. Last, but most certainly not the least, we are big believers that as much as technology will augment us… as much as our insights and instincts will support our decisions, people are still at the center of all of this. We have built unique networks of truly astonishing and generous people, not just in the geographies where we will have our offices, but around the world, where we will operate. All of us have worked in at least 3 different continents and will continue bringing to entrepreneurs all the resources that we have access to as individuals, as a firm, but also from our broader ecosystem of investors/LPs, advisors, friends. We will continue bringing a humanistic values-based approach to this profession (we don’t call it a job, around here): we will continue treating entrepreneurs’ start-ups as their babies… because they are; when we are tough, we will continue being thoughtful, fair and charitable.
