NewSpring Capital NewSpring Capital, based in Radnor, Pennsylvania, Short Hills, New Jersey, and Washington, D.C., is a leading provider of private equity capital focused in the Mid-Atlantic region. NewSpring Capital currently has $500 million across three distinct investment strategies through its family of funds.

Across all funds, NewSpring Capital's investment professionals include eight partners with significant experience as private equity investors, operating managers, and industry leaders at the CEO level. The firm’s highly cohesive investment team has a strong track record of investing in both private and public transactions, collectively representing more than 100 years of experience investing over $1 billion.

All three NewSpring Capital funds work closely together. Yet each fund maintains its own dedicated senior management team, investment committee and limited partner advisory board. While in some cases the funds may co-invest, each fund operates independently, investing in non-competitive asset classes, stages, and industries.

First Round Capital First Round Capital is an early stage venture capital firm managed by Joshua Kopelman, Chris Fralic, Rob Hayes and Howard Morgan. We look to partner with entrepreneurs to build innovative technology companies. We are seed-stage investors, often providing a company’s first outside capital, and are not afraid of investing in pre-revenue companies. We understand the challenges of launching a new product. We look to take an active role in most of the companies we invest in. We believe our experience, insight and expertise are far more valuable than our capital -- and we look for entrepreneurs who feel the same. To learn more about what we look for, click here. We recognize that time is an extremely valuable resource for an entrepreneur -- and seek not to waste it. We operate as an entrepreneurial shop and are able to make quick decisions. No investment committees. No months of negotiations. If we're going to invest, we usually decide within days.
