Technology-focused private equity investing in exceptional companies worldwide.
Silver Lake is a global technology-focused investment firm that partners with management teams to invest in and build companies across the technology sector. Founded over 25 years ago, the firm has constructed a portfolio spanning enterprise software, financial technology, data infrastructure, content and entertainment, and mobility. Its investment activity operates at significant scale, with notable recent transactions including acquisitions of Zuora, Endeavor, and a strategic stake in Altera, as well as participation in large-scale funding rounds for Waymo and Vantage Data Centers.
For family offices evaluating access to private markets exposure in technology, Silver Lake represents one of the larger dedicated pools of institutionally managed technology-focused private equity capital. Portfolio companies include:
Silver Lake does not operate a family office services platform or wealth management division. Its relevance to family office readers is exclusively as a potential investment manager or fund access point within a private markets allocation. The firm does not disclose specific fund terms, minimum commitments, or fee structures on its public website. Family offices seeking direct co-investment access or separately managed accounts would need to engage the firm directly, and access is typically limited to institutional and qualified investor relationships. For offices building private technology exposure, Silver Lake is a primary-market manager to evaluate, but the lack of public terms disclosure means due diligence requires direct outreach.
We partner and align with exceptional management teams to invest in, build and grow great companies.
