Virginia Capital Partners manages a family of venture capital, growth capital and private equity funds. We invest within industries where our professionals have considerable prior success: health care, media, communications, insurance, consumer and business services and specialty insurance. Virginia Capital Partners is an exceptionally steadfast business partner with a 20 year investment horizon. Our long-term focus sets us apart from the traditional venture capitalist. Our experience, carefully selected partnerships and patience have enabled us to generate top decile portfolio returns over a fifteen-year period. Virginia Capital's funds are used to start, grow or buy businesses--we are flexible and indifferent regarding the type of transaction or the reason for the capital need. Virginia Capital's private equity group invests from $500,000 to $10 million in growing companies in the South Atlantic U.S. -- typically within driving distance of our offices in Richmond, Virginia. Our investment philosophy is relatively straightforward. We partner with outstanding entrepreneurs who are looking for both an equity capital and a trusted business partner. Our goal is to be a trusted advisor and counselor on key financial and strategic decisions, typically through active participation on the Board of Directors. Otherwise, we leave the day-to-day decision making to management.
