Schooner Capital invests in private companies and public securities from a permanent capital base. We look across sector, stage and geography, with a premium on independent judgment and contrarian thinking.

Patience has been fundamental to our approach for 53 years. We often invest multiple times in our holdings and favor deep partnership with exceptional teams. Our evergreen structure and entrepreneurial roots allow us to respond to opportunities without mandate constraints or fundraising concerns. 

Our profits support The Schooner Foundation, which is involved in human rights causes around the world.
