The Grosvenor Funds

The Grosvenor Funds, founded in 1994 and based in Washington, D.C., was a venture capital firm specializing in early to mid-stage investments in the United States. The firm focused on sectors such as wireless technology, healthcare services, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and life sciences. It aimed to invest between $1 million and $2 million in first rounds, often providing additional financing in subsequent rounds. Grosvenor preferred to be a lead investor and frequently collaborated with a network of similar venture capital firms, seeking to take a Board seat in its portfolio companies. The firm emphasized investing in companies with a sustainable competitive advantage, targeting those with the potential to achieve cash flow positivity within 18 to 24 months. However, it did not invest in airlines, restaurants, real estate, entertainment, or retail sectors. Grosvenor Funds is no longer actively investing.
