Gatewood Capital Partners

Overview

Gatewood Capital Partners is an innovative private equity firm specializing in seeding and supporting emerging managers across various alternative investment strategies in North America and Europe. Their partnership model goes beyond traditional fund-level investing, providing significant 'first close' LP capital and ongoing strategic support to emerging managers launching institutional-grade funds. They also selectively back established managers seeking institutional capital and long-term partnerships. The firm pursues various private market strategies, including buyout, growth, credit, real estate, and infrastructure, in North America and Europe. Gatewood invests discretionary capital alongside other like-minded LPs in high-quality emerging managers, believing that the participation of leading institutional investors in a first close can build meaningful fundraising momentum for a new fund. Gatewood supports its partners in multiple ways to help them pursue long-term success, while working towards their goal of achieving strong risk-adjusted returns for their investors. Their team has built a 'partnership culture' based on strong alignment of interests, a high level of transparency, and a value-add approach to investing, striving to maintain this disciplined approach with their underlying fund managers. Gatewood Capital Partners was founded in 2014. The firm focuses on private investments across the United States and Western Europe. As of October 2022, they closed Gatewood Capital Opportunity Fund II, their second fund, which continues their mission of supporting emerging managers in the private equity space.
