Susquehanna Growth Equity

Susquehanna Growth Equity (SGE) is a growth equity investment firm established in 2006, focusing on partnering with rapidly growing technology and services companies. The firm distinguishes itself through its patient and flexible capital, which is sourced from entrepreneurs, allowing portfolio companies to dictate their own timelines and growth strategies without the constraints of traditional private equity fundraising cycles. SGE offers what it terms “liquidity as a service,” providing capital for growth, acquisitions, or shareholder liquidity across multiple tranches and without fixed time horizons.

The firm was founded in 2006 by entrepreneurs for entrepreneurs, aiming to create a different kind of investor. This unique funding model means that SGE's team deeply understands the entrepreneurial journey, including its inherent highs and lows. Their approach emphasizes building genuine relationships with founders rather than imposing a rigid operational playbook, offering strategic guidance and growth acceleration support tailored to each company's needs.

Susquehanna Growth Equity boasts a diverse portfolio of notable investments across various technology and services sectors. Key portfolio companies include HighRadius (Order to Cash), iCIMS (Talent Acquisition Platform), Credit Karma (Financial Technology), Payoneer (Global Payments), and Phorest (Salon Software). Other significant investments have included ActiveCampaign, Avalara, B-Stock, Buildout, and Bestpass, demonstrating their broad reach in areas like customer experience automation, tax compliance, recommerce, commercial real estate marketing, and commercial fleet services.

The SGE team comprises experienced investment and value creation professionals, many of whom have entrepreneurial backgrounds themselves. They are committed to being engaged, collaborative, and passionate partners, offering strategic guidance to help entrepreneurs navigate challenges and capitalize on emerging trends. The firm's dedicated value creation team actively collaborates with portfolio companies on go-to-market strategies, M&A, and foundational topics, leveraging extensive toolkits, benchmarks, and a vast network to drive sustained, tangible impact.
