What is growth equity and why should I be excited about it | Fireside chat

A growth equity investment allows you to focus your investment on scaling technologies with proven revenue models and product-market fits. This generally represents a lower risk strategy versus early-stage venture capital investing, as the technology is proven and the companies have obtained a sizable client base (typically greater than 10m sales).
For investors, it can be a great way to increase the impact of your capital and diversify.
