Our Impact By The Numbers
Jobs created figure was derived by using a combination of Pitchbook, LinkedIn, and various public data sources to determine the number of employees at Greenspring’s underlying portfolio companies (since inception) at the time of funding and at the time of Greenspring’s exit. Unknown company counts were extrapolated upon by extracting the median initial/final company counts for companies of the same subsector.
The Greenspring Difference
We believe in venture capital’s ability to propel innovation, job creation and positive societal change. We celebrate those who think differently, take measured risk and challenge preconceptions. Our team of over 90 diverse professionals is exclusively dedicated to the asset class and works collaboratively across fund, direct and secondary investments to maximize synergies.
