History

Greycroft was founded in 2006 by venture capital pioneer Alan Patricof, after leaving Apax Partners in 2005. Patricof wanted to return to early-stage investing via smaller transactions.

Funds

Greycroft raised its first fund with $75 million of investor commitments in 2006, its second $131 million fund in 2010, its third $175 million fund in 2012, its fourth $200 million fund in 2015, and a fifth $250 million fund in 2018. In 2014, Greycroft raised  its first growth fund, Greycroft Growth.
The company’s growth funds allow for investment in growth stage deals with commitments starting at $10 million and scaling up to $35 million. After the success of the firms later stage investments, Greycroft raised a second growth fund of $250 million in 2017.
The firm is actively investing from two funds today:
The venture fund invests between $100,000 and $5 million in a first check, while the growth fund invests up to $35 million in a company. These two funds enable the firm to support entrepreneurs at any stage, from inception through exit.
According to Ian Sigalow, one of Greycroft's founders, the firm expected to make 15 to 20 early-stage deals and three or four growth-stage deals in 2014.
