The fund has a diverse portfolio encompassing industries such as Financial Services and Fintech, IT and TMT, Media, Software including Web, Marketplace, and SaaS, and Logistics and Distribution. Method Capital leverages their Principal’s collective experience, which exceeds 150 years, to build a world-class investment firm known for being great partners with management teams and rigorous stewards of investor capital.
