Growth Equity

Definitions

1. Investment in relatively mature private companies with meaningful revenue and growth, typically later than venture capital but earlier than full buyout control. Growth equity often backs scaling rather than pure early-stage experimentation.

   In plain English: Investment in private companies that are already growing and more mature than typical early startups.

   Example: "The company turned to growth equity once it had predictable enterprise revenue but still wanted private-market capital."
