Private equity
Commitments to buyout, co-investment and secondary strategies, built through repeat relationships with experienced managers.
Patient capital, deployed with conviction.
Downstream Partners is a long-term-minded family office investor with a flexible mandate. We partner with both emerging and established sponsors across private equity, venture capital, and real estate, in addition to managing our own portfolio of operating companies and real estate assets.
Beyond capital
Where our own assets meet your strategy.
We are particularly drawn to managers whose businesses could benefit from the portfolio we own. Alongside our investments, we operate three restaurant brands, as both a franchisee and an independent brand, and hold a portfolio of directly owned real estate. For the right partner, that means more than capital: an operator's perspective, and the potential for a relationship that creates value well beyond the investment itself.

Selective venture and growth-stage commitments in technology-enabled sectors.
Real estate
Fund investments in income-producing and development real estate, as well as single-property real estate deals. We also own a portfolio of over 40 net leased real estate assets.
How we work
A reliable partner to the funds we back.
Repeat relationships
We favor managers we can back across funds and vintages, and add to relationships that perform.
Long-term, flexible capital
As a family office, we are not tied to a fund-cycle clock. We can back first-time and seasoned sponsors alike, across funds and single deals.
Broad perspective
Allocating across strategies, and owning real estate directly, gives us context that most single-strategy LPs lack.
