Greenfield Partners

Greenfield Partners is a growth equity firm that partners with exceptional technology companies at the early-growth stage, focusing on building efficient go-to-market strategies to achieve global scale. The firm targets tech and tech-enabled businesses across sectors like cybersecurity, AI infrastructure, fintech, deep tech, IT infrastructure, vertical AI, and internet/digital media, providing hands-on support through its G²M (Greenfield Growth Momentum) program. This initiative addresses key challenges in transitioning from founder-led sales to scalable, team-driven growth engines, emphasizing data-driven processes and operational efficiency.

Founded in 2016 as an investment platform under TPG Growth, Greenfield Partners specialized in early-growth technology investments, particularly in Israel. The firm spun out independently in 2019 to expand its global strategy, combining the rigor of late-stage investing with entrepreneurial agility. This heritage enables the team to offer tailored guidance based on decades of experience, helping portfolio companies navigate the 'growth chasm' from product-market fit to sustainable expansion.

The firm has backed 19 portfolio companies, generating over $1 billion in revenue, $3 billion in capital raised, and $12 billion in enterprise value. Notable investments include VAST Data (AI infrastructure, $9.1B valuation), Capitolis (fintech), Coralogix (data observability), Exodigo (deep tech), Silverfort (identity security), Torq (hyperautomation), BigPanda (AIOps, $1.2B valuation), and others like Cynet, DustPhotonics, and EquityBee. Exits include Avanan (acquired by Check Point for $300M) and Guardicore (acquired by Akamai for $600M).

Led by partners with operator, entrepreneur, and finance backgrounds, the team embodies a 'hungry, humble, smart' ethos in a transparent meritocracy. Key members include Managing Partner Shay Grinfeld, General Partner Avery Schwartz, Partners Raz Mangel, Nir Goldstein, Yuda Doron, and Itay Inbar, supported by principals, growth investors like Olivia Levine, and advisors such as Ameet Patel. With offices in New York and Tel Aviv, they maintain a hyper-focused, entrepreneurial approach to scaling tech companies worldwide.
