“Iron Gate started adding value on our intro call. I wanted them to lead our round based on their track record and feel like I am a better founder and CEO because of their involvement. In addition, their deal-by-deal model means that 'each investment needs to be a winner.’ As a founder, I loved hearing that a VC/PE firm was 100% committed to a successful outcome for my business.”

“The firm has been a valuable partner to me and the team at HZO. Like most companies, we have had to endure several challenges along the way as we have worked to position ourselves as the category leading company in our space. Iron Gate has always been there for us – both as an investor participating in every round, and as an engaged and helpful board member guiding us along the path.”

“We are excited to have an investor like Iron Gate as a partner in our business. They share the same fundamental belief as the team – ‘we win or fail together’ – and their ‘in the huddle’ approach is real. They have become a critical member of the Liqid team, and are deeply invested in our success.”

“They were terrific partners all the way around, and as people, they were great to work with. Iron Gate invested in Central Logic at a critical inflection point for the business, forming a deep understanding of our business including the internal operations and the external market factors. This was critical as the board evaluated our strategic options. The Iron Gate team pushed us to look ahead further and see around corners.”
Angie Franks, CEO Central Logic (SOLD)
OUR EDGE
Companies are built brick by brick, hire by hire. They take enormous effort, clear strategy, and excellent decision-making. Our LPs are experienced business builders in their respective industries. We leverage their expertise to improve outcomes for the teams we back.
We know. We’ve been there. We’ve done it.
OUR FOCUS
We select carefully, backing high-growth category-leading enterprise technology companies emerging from the venture stage. They must have excellent product-market fit and preferably revenues between $5-20M at the time of our initial investment.
Our SPV model means each Investment we make is equally important to the firm.
