About Invus

Invus started in 1985 with a focus on investments in private companies. We target a small handful of new investments each year in what we believe have transformational opportunities with a truly long-term horizon. Our fund is typically the only or the lead financial partner in each of our investments, where we can hold minority or majority stakes in companies. Based on this long-term, high-touch approach, we believe we have the rare experience working with companies through their lifecycle from an early-growth stage to becoming successful public companies, where we tap into the synergies with our public equity platform. We also work seamlessly between our teams in the U.S., Europe and Asia, both during the investment stage and to help add value to our partner companies. What We Look For ▪ Entrepreneurs and teams with a shared vision and passion about the business. ▪ Companies looking to transform their industries, not merely good businesses that will keep doing what they’ve been doing. ▪ A business with a real competitive advantage, or a vision for how it can be built. ▪ Strategy based on driving sustained business performance, not on financial engineering. ▪ Current shareholders who care about who the next backer of the business will be. ▪ Revenues of over $5 million—though if the target business model is clear, we are comfortable with companies that have lower revenues.
