Supporting Innovation

from Seed to Scale

Bain Capital is one of the only firms in the world that backs technology companies at every stage of their growth lifecycle, from funding pre-revenue seed investments to backing scale leaders in global markets and everything in between.

Bain Capital’s broad investment mandate fuels unique and highly differentiated insights that we invest behind across our platform. In collaboration with the leaders of our portfolio companies, the novel ideas we encounter in the world of early stage investing can be applied to the product strategy of later-stage businesses. Conversely, the business-building practices we encourage for scale technology companies can serve as a roadmap for those just starting out.

What unifies the firm’s approach from seed to scale is a belief that growth opportunities arise from decisive and sustained investments in innovation. We invest in companies that build the best technology products in the world and we enable them to achieve their full potential. Wherever technology innovators are on this journey, Bain Capital is an active partner in fueling new ideas and igniting growth.

To date, we have invested in more than 425 technology companies, representing $25.3B equity invested in the sector.
