Our Dual Research Platform

Crosslink manages over $600 million in public equity long/short strategies with a focus on technology. Key to these strategies is Crosslink’s ability to leverage the insights of our public and venture capital investment teams. These teams manage three families of funds: our private equity venture funds, our public equity hedge fund, and our unique hybrid crossover funds.

Together these funds span the full spectrum of equity investment, from seed stage through mid-cap public equities. Collectively, they leverage the “dual research platform,” which is unique to Crosslink. This dual research platform aids public investing in the following ways:

Early Insight:
Most significant threats to public technology and growth companies come from discontinuous change brought on by emerging competitors and technologies. Crosslink’s venture practice meets with hundreds of private companies each year, which provides our public team with insights into emerging technologies before the public market is generally aware of them.

Working Knowledge:
Crosslink’s public and venture investment professionals have developed a diverse professional network, including entrepreneurs, board members, consultants, and public and private company executives who offer unique, “real world” perspectives on public companies.

Perspective:
The collective experience and resources of our investment professionals provides our public team with the perspective to understand a company’s business to a greater degree than other investors.
