Dorilton, a NYC-based private investment firm that invests in businesses across a range of industry sectors, has launched Dorilton Ventures.
Dorilton Ventures will lead significant minority investments in early to mid-stage technology companies focused on data-centric segments such as enterprise IT infrastructure, data science, and cyber security.
The firm will initially target investments globally of $5-10m but may over-allocate to meet the needs of the most transformative businesses in its role as a funding partner throughout a company’s lifecycle.
The team includes investment professionals, data scientists, and IT infrastructure specialists.
Led by Matthew Savage, co-founder and Chairman, Dorilton has made multiple venture investments to date, including:
- multi-lingual, geo-enabled social media and web-monitoring platform Babel Street;
- space-based radio frequency analytics specialist Hawkeye360;
- healthcare analytics platform Post Acute Analytics; and
- personalized tissue therapeutics company XenoTherapeutics.
The launch coincides with the group’s move to a single brand, Dorilton, which will preside over standalone strategies, including Dorilton Ventures and the core private equity operation Dorilton Capital.
Dorilton acquired UK Formula 1 team Williams Racing in 2020. This new branding will make its first major outing with the appearance of the Dorilton Ventures logo on the Williams FW43B car at the 2021 Portuguese Grand Prix, to be held at the Algarve International Circuit April 30th – May 2nd.
