Schooner Capital invests in private companies and public securities from a permanent capital base. We look across sector, stage and geography, with a premium on independent judgment and contrarian thinking. Patience is fundamental to our approach. We often invest multiple times in our holdings and favor deep partnership with exceptional teams over position size limits.
53 years ago, Schooner Capital was formed to buy out leftover assets in a local venture capital fund. Several of those assets grew into multibillion dollar enterprises, providing the original capital base upon which we have built for decades. Our evergreen structure and entrepreneurial roots allow us to respond to opportunities without mandate constraints or fundraising concerns.
Our profits support The Schooner Foundation, which is involved in human rights causes around the world.
