Private investment firm Weatherford Capital announced a $300 million close of Weatherford Capital Fund II.
Consistent with Fund I’s strategy, Fund II sustained a similar thesis, emphasizing investments in experienced values-based leaders operating growth-oriented companies in technology, financial services, and business and consumer services.
Following the fund’s closing, Weatherford Capital has grown to over $1 billion in assets under management.
KEY QUOTES:
“We are thrilled to announce the close of Fund II and humbled by the continued trust and confidence of our investment partners. We are eager to serve each of the companies in which we are investing as genuine long-term strategic partners and continue to honor the trust of our faithful investors.”
“We believe our decade-long, market-leading investment thesis in the GovTech industry continues to bear fruit and thus headlines our approach to Fund II.”
– Will Weatherford, Managing Partner of Weatherford Capital
“A new area of focus was the growing opportunity to impact and drive one of the most influential industries in the life of the Weatherford family—sports education. It was partly our participation in sports that drove us to build a firm in which we believe that the way we win matters. We are excited to come alongside and invest in partners who are helping to shape the hearts and minds of our nation’s future leaders.”
– Founding Partner Drew Weatherford
“As grateful as we are for that responsibility and excited for the opportunity it brings, we are equally as thankful to partner with companies and investors who value positive and lasting impact in the world just as highly as value creation. We built Weatherford Capital on foundational values that espouse human flourishing.”
– Founding Partner Sam Weatherford
