For CEOs

General Atlantic provides financing to growth companies at all stages of a company’s development including private companies, pre-IPO and/or public companies and buyout situations. Capital may be needed to pursue strategic growth objectives, to finance acquisitions and to obtain liquidity for shareholders and/or founders.  For a CEO, we recognize that the process of choosing a capital partner can be complex given the many important considerations in determining the right fit. It is essential to evaluate an investor’s objectives, track record and investment strategy to ensure it is aligned with your view of the future for your business.

At GA, we strongly believe that our expertise, global network and the ability to add value over time differentiates us as investors. Moreover, our unique capital structure affords us stability as an organization and flexibility in terms of liquidity needs for a much longer term investment horizon (5 to 10 years). Our goal is to work with those CEOs and management teams looking for an active trusted partner with a long-term view to creating significant shareholder value. We are excellent partners for companies seeking to capitalize on global growth opportunities due to our knowledge of and presence in major markets around the globe and our long track record of working successfully with growth-oriented management teams.

Our primary objective is the success of our portfolio companies. We devote extensive resources from our global professional team, all of whom were formerly with premier investment banks, consulting firms or leading corporations. Our greatest success comes from working in active partnerships with strong management teams who aggressively leverage our knowledge, expertise and resources to the fullest.

 

“Since Exult's birth, our relationship with General Atlantic has been one of the most supportive a new company could desire. Exult's rapid growth and success have been facilitated and encouraged in every sense by GA.” 

Jim Madden,
Founder, Exult
