Newbrook Private is our private investment arm where we work with investors to invest in innovative growth companies.
We target post revenue companies, meaning we are unlikely to invest in start-ups. But we are not restricted by business type or theme (for example we don’t focus solely on the technology sector, or on specific environmental themes) so aim to build a diversified portfolio of investments with a focus on international growth.
With a diverse background in accounting, finance, technology, venture capital and more, the team are uniquely positioned to source investment funds from both domestic and international investors and, as investors themselves, always take a long-term view with clients.
