Venture Capital and Fund Management
Finistere Partners is a venture capital and fund management firm with a unique international focus. We recognize that innovation is as likely to occur in Sydney as it is San Diego; as likely in London as Los Angeles. Yet the traditional venture capital fund has found it difficult to look outside its region.
Our model is to develop internationally competitive technologies and migrating them into the world's largest markets. Our vision is unique, but the problems we address are universal. Our investment model seeks to bring together the best fit of technology, people and capital to maximize the value of an innovation, wherever it is found.
