What we do
Fast-changing sectors offer clear drivers for growth such as changing demographics, market changes, new regulations and legislation, social trends and technological developments. These dynamics give businesses vital opportunities to grow and to sustain that growth in the long-term.
August Equity typically works with family-owned, founder-managed businesses. It backs people with great vision, a powerful drive to build their business and a genuinely innovative idea that offers the market something new.

The people we back without exception have great vision and a powerful drive to build their business.
