Investing in Technology That Changes the Game

Technology enablement for services businesses used to be a differentiator – it is quickly becoming a necessity. As the shift to the digital economy accelerates, businesses across all sectors are driven to adopt technology in new and innovative ways. For business services companies in particular, we believe the need to execute with excellence has never been greater.

We believe services businesses must leverage technology capabilities in addition to having a deep understanding of customer and market needs, thereby enabling the development of new business models to address known challenges. While allowing their customers to be more efficient and effective, tech-enabled services companies are similarly characterized as highly scalable and efficient, with strong recurring revenue models and operating leverage.

New Harbor Capital invests across the tech-enabled services landscape – from businesses leveraging existing technologies, platforms and tools to deliver B2B services with excellence, to business services companies that have developed or are developing proprietary technologies to drive new and differentiated models – in all cases focused on accelerated growth, enhanced operating efficiencies and sustainable competitive advantages.

When you partner with New Harbor Capital, you gain access to a team of experienced tech-enabled services investment principals and partners that work relentlessly to support your business — and ensure you achieve your full potential.
