Clients First
We've been entrusted with our clients' capital, making clients our first and foremost focus. From our investment focus to how we report results, our goal is to provide clients with clarity, transparency, responsiveness -and results.

One Firm, Many Markets
When you work with Northgate, you benefit from our global perspectives and diverse experiences-all of which make for a more robust operation. You also have the assurance that as a firm, we are united in the disciplined approach and investment philosophies we follow.

Obligation to Dissent
At Northgate, there is no hierarchy of ideas. From a proposed investment strategy or decision about pursuing a new market, it is your responsibility-your obligation-to express your opinion. And it's the entire team's obligation to listen and explore.

No Complacency
Good enough is never enough. We’re a team driven by superior results. Contentment is not in our DNA. We are passionate, driven and results-oriented. We value and know the importance of always seeking out new thinking.

Relationships Rule
From client interactions to the venture capital and private equity firms we invest in, forging lasting relationships is our mantra. We know successful relationships start with commitment and trust, and continue to grow with mutual respect and benefit.

Strategic Partnerships

The Northgate team understands the value and power of partnerships.

At Northgate, we’ve nurtured and cultivated our strategic partnerships for decades. These relationships span the globe, ranging from the world’s top private equity fund managers to prominent venture capital firms that have funded and actively manage today’s most innovative technology, biotechnology, healthcare and green tech ventures. Access to such highly compelling funds is privileged.

We also realize that a fund manager’s tenure as a top-performer is never absolute, which is why we’re always cultivating new relationships and carefully analyzing and evaluating those within our portfolio.

In addition to our extensive network of fund relationships, Northgate has forged partnerships with several industry experts. From offering perspectives on emerging markets and geographies to new areas of science and complex technological shifts, these respected professionals play an important part in our success.

Above all, we value the trusted relationships we’ve forged with our limited partners. We’ve worked diligently to cultivate mutual trust, open communications, and absolute transparency.
