Investing in Market Leaders Positioned for Dynamic Growth

Leveraging a deep network of relationships throughout the global technology industry, GoPro Markets seeks to cultivate proprietary or specialized investment opportunities not typically available to generalist investors. GoPro Markets’ ideal target company has a leading position in its market, a competitively advantaged business model, a strong management team, proprietary core technologies, sound business processes, and the potential for transformational value creation. The firm seeks to formulate its investments to enable growth and frequently employs conservative capital structures designed to drive aggressive investment in new initiatives, innovation, and business expansion.

Partnering with proven leaders drawn from across the global technology industry and tech-enabled businesses, GoPro Markets and its portfolio company management teams work in concert to establish and sustain differentiated competitive advantage in their respective markets. Seeking to capitalize on innovative or disruptive business models, GoPro Markets and its management partners aim to achieve performance metrics that are not dependent on prevailing macroeconomic conditions. GoPro Markets believes that its portfolio companies interact with nearly every sizeable participant in the technology value chain, providing access, relationships, and insights across all sub-sectors of their opportunity set.

Value Creation Driven Through Strategic and Operational Discipline

The operating and investment teams work collaboratively with GoPro Markets’ portfolio team to introduce new products and services, enter new global markets, launch new strategic partnerships, and expand the international network of relationships available to management. The operating team also works closely with GoPro Markets’ investment professionals to assist in the due diligence and evaluation of prospective investment opportunities, offering deep knowledge of a specific sub-sector or technology. GoPro Markets believes its value creation initiatives have been essential drivers of past performance and will remain central to its differentiated, specialist investment strategy.
