Primary Relationships
HarbourVest works very closely with its primary partnership managers. The breadth of our relationships allows us to identify and pursue diverse investment opportunities throughout the world. We invest in all types of fund managers — small, medium, and large buyout partnerships; venture fund managers that specialize in seed and early stage investing; managers that focus in the later stage area; and mezzanine and distressed debt partnerships.
Long-Standing Relationships
As one of the oldest fund-of-funds, we have created lasting relationships with many of the top fund managers in the business today, and we continue to proactively seek out new investment teams.
