Corporate Profile
Founded 1996
Registration No. 03295094 (United Kingdom)
Industry: Asset Managers
Overview: Kennet is a different kind of investor. We help successful, entrepreneurial technology businesses take the next big jump in growth. We’re an experienced growth equity investor with a long track record of building global market leaders and achieving high-value exits. The companies we invest in often do not need money to survive. They have options. But the right investment from the right partner can help them keep ahead of their markets, expand internationally, ramp up their sales forces and lead to greater value for shareholders. The trigger to raise capital may be a desire to accelerate expansion with additional funding, or to create liquidity for the founders or early investors.
