PE/VC investors
Private Equity (PE) and Venture Capital (VC) investors are the catalysts of innovation and growth in the business world. PE firms primarily target established companies, seeking to optimize operations and unlock value through strategic investments and management expertise. They focus on long-term growth and profitability, often preparing businesses for a future sale or IPO. VC investors, by contrast, are the adventurers of finance, injecting capital into high-potential startups and early-stage companies. They embrace risk for the possibility of outsized returns, often becoming invaluable advisors. Both investor types not only bring capital but also strategic guidance, industry connections, and market insights, propelling their portfolio companies towards success.

Across the world, nations and communities are emerging from the pandemic with plans for growth. In major economies, these plans share important characteristics.
There is a strengthened debate about the purpose and role of business, and how the state and enterprise can align to create shared prosperity. Companies are expected to do more than just maximise profits and will be held accountable by a broad range of stakeholders when they fail to live up to expectations.
To succeed over the long term, and to be sustainable in the broadest sense, firms must deliver shared social and environmental benefit as well as financial returns. Companies must ensure that a responsible approach to the environment, society and good governance is built into the core of their business.
There is also more focus on investment for future growth. A greater recognition of the need to build in resilience for the future, focusing on the sectors that will deliver long-term social and economic value.
These challenges come at a time when the investment climate is uncertain, when technology is changing rapidly and when businesses are under huge public scrutiny. Many companies and individuals rely on unprecedented levels of government and central bank support. High government deficits and historically low interest rates have undermined the traditional tools of economic policy. The link between valuations and underlying economic reality can appear broken.
This requires new thinking about the nature and measurement of wealth beyond GDP. This should focus attention on long-term investment; on diversifying the energy mix and accelerating a sustainable path to net zero; on diversity and inclusion; and on commitments to tackle .
Long-term thinking, entrepreneurial spirit and innovation must win out against short-termism.
LetterOne is built for this challenge.
