PRIVATE STAKES PROGRAM

Since 2010, Laidlaw Private Equity, LLC has developed a growing family of independent alternative investment vehicles under the newly branded Private Stakes Program, having sponsored 23 independently owned and managed pooled funds to date. These specialized investment vehicles typically target a 3-6 year horizon, unlike more traditional private equity and venture capital funds which typically require a minimum of 7-10 year commitment... The Private Stakes Program provides qualified individual and entity investors access to stakes in the same private venture-backed companies historically available only to select institutions. By strategically targeting a limited number of late stage, private technology issuers, it aims to develop a focused portfolio in each fund, with the goal of providing a shorter investment and liquidity horizon than typical private equity and venture capital funds.
