#2 Greycroft Partners
Greycroft Partners is a New York based venture capital firm with a flexible, long term investment approach. We can invest at any stage of a startup's lifecycle, and have separate funds that invest at earlier stages ($100K to $5m first cheque, with follow-on rounds up to $10m) and later stage pre-IPO rounds ($10m first cheque, up to $35m total). Greycroft is flexible on ownership percentage, check size, and board seats which means we can bring together syndicates that may be impossible with the stricter requirements of other funds.
We are truly long-term, and we often hold investments for over ten years. Although we have a greater number of investments in the US, we can and have invested globally, including Europe and Asia.
Our portfolio companies benefit from active, hands-on assistance from the partners. Greycroft's partners work as a team, which means our CEOs have access to the collective rolodex and expertise of the entire partnership. We leverage an extensive network of media and technology connections to help you gain visibility, build strategic partnerships, and successfully exit.

We usually start with small investments in early-stage companies, and work with these companies before participating (where appropriate) in larger follow-on fundraisings. We invest in a larger number of companies per fund than most VCs and believe this approach maximises returns to our investors.
