Volition Capital

Volition Capital is a Boston-based growth equity firm that partners with high-growth, founder-owned companies across North America and Europe. The firm focuses on providing growth capital, typically investing between $5 million and $50 million, and takes a meaningful minority ownership stake with board representation. Their investment philosophy, encapsulated by "Business is Human," emphasizes strong relationships and tailored support to help founders achieve their business aspirations without undue risk. Volition Capital is highly selective, seeking capital-efficient businesses with proven potential to lead their respective markets.

Founded in 2010 by Sean Cantwell, Larry Cheng, and Roger Hurwitz, Volition Capital emerged from the team that previously led the US operations of Fidelity Ventures. The firm's establishment was driven by a desire to create an independent organization focused on a specific type of company and investment opportunity. Since its inception, Volition Capital has grown significantly, managing over $1.7 billion in assets and having invested in or provided sub-advisory advice to more than 60 companies.

Volition Capital's diverse portfolio includes notable companies such as Rounds, a technology firm transforming digital assets into businesses; ButterflyMX, a provider of smart home technology for multi-family residences; Creatio, a global software company offering a low-code platform for process management and CRM; and US Mobile, a hybrid network operator. Recent investments include leading an $18 million round in Statusphere, an influencer marketing platform, and a $25 million Series A in Kombo, an infrastructure platform for workforce data.

The firm's team, including Managing Partners Sean Cantwell, Larry Cheng, and Roger Hurwitz, along with Partners Tomy Han and Jim Ferry, brings extensive expertise in software, internet applications, e-commerce, digital health, and tech-enabled services. Volition Capital's approach extends beyond capital, offering strategic guidance, operational support, and access to a robust network of advisors to foster the growth and success of its portfolio companies. The firm's core values emphasize hard work, inspired thinking, human-centric business practices, and smart risk-taking.
