Why ICG for Investors
ICG provides its investors with the opportunity to participate in the success of a select, diversified group of leading private SaaS and tech-enabled BPO businesses that are transforming their markets by creating efficiencies and automating critical business processes for a growing number of clients.
In our view, although the Internet has transformed the consumer, it has yet to fully transform the enterprise. A significant opportunity exists over the next decade for innovative Internet companies that can help enterprises improve processes, serve customers, market more efficiently and improve their value.

While our partners are diverse in terms of their areas of focus, they share common attributes, such as:
- Offering clients web-enabled software platforms
- Automating complex workflow processes
- Delivering comprehensive solutions (software, content data and transactions)
- Generating predictable, recurring revenue streams with relatively fixed costs
- Engaging clients in multi-year contracts
Our experienced team works with these partners to gain the momentum and traction to ride the growth curve to market leadership. We do this by providing management expertise, operational know-how and capital to make strategic acquisitions to expand capabilities or gain market share more quickly.
As a result of our sharp focus on owning and building private companies in growing sectors, ICG’s stock is increasingly viewed as a diversified index of highly attractive private SaaS and tech-enabled BPO platform companies. Our model allows equity investors the unique opportunity to indirectly invest in these private companies that they would otherwise not have access to.
