Warburg Pincus

Warburg Pincus traces its roots to E.M. Warburg & Co. and was formed in New York in 1966 when Lionel Pincus & Co. acquired the firm. It raised its first institutional fund in 1971 and has since developed into a global private equity platform.

The firm invests across private equity, real estate, and capital solutions, with core sector expertise in technology, financial services, healthcare, industrials, business services, energy transition and sustainability, and real estate. Its growth-investing model typically involves partnering with founders and management teams to scale businesses across regions and stages of development.

Warburg Pincus is especially notable for its global platform and sector specialization: the firm reports more than $105 billion in assets under management, over 1,100 companies backed, and more than 290 investment professionals globally.
