Growth Equity

Growth equity is an investment stage between traditional venture capital and private equity buyouts, targeting companies that have already found product-market fit and are generating meaningful revenue but still need capital to expand rather than to prove a concept. Growth-equity investors typically buy minority stakes rather than seeking control, and they focus on scaling an already-working business model rather than funding early-stage experimentation.

Qumra Capital, founded in 2014, describes itself as Israel's first dedicated growth-equity fund, investing primarily in Series B and later rounds once a company has demonstrable revenue and a functioning go-to-market motion. That distinguishes growth equity from seed and early-stage venture capital, where funds like TLV Partners or Vine Ventures back companies before they have proven a repeatable revenue model, and from buyout private equity, where firms typically take majority control and use debt financing.
