Edited Capital

Traditional wisdom says tech companies must scale fast or fail. But what about the promising ventures that don't fit the VC narrative? At Edited Capital, we believe there’s value in these companies for those that are willing to consider an alternative funding route. Our proven 100-day playbook transforms undervalued B2B tech companies into high-performing assets. What sets us apart? We're former founders, as well as investors. Having built and operated tech companies, we understand how to drive sustainable growth and returns while preserving company culture and a focus on innovation. 12 successful acquisitions later, we've proven there's another path to success in tech.

As 2024 draws to a close, we at Edited Capital want to extend our warmest holiday wishes to our network. This year has been transformative for us, especially marked by our evolution from Stage Fund to Edited Capital in November. We're grateful for your support as we continue our mission of partnering with promising tech companies to unlock their next chapter of growth. Thank you for being part of our journey. Here's to new beginnings and continued collaboration in 2024! Happy Holidays, The Edited Capital Team

The traditional script for tech funding—raise fast, grow faster, exit big— needs a rewrite. Not every startup can or will become a unicorn, but that doesn’t mean they don’t deserve a chance at success. That’s where we come in. At Edited Capital, we take promising B2B technology businesses and help them reinvent themselves through an innovative approach: • Acquire undervalued tech companies that don’t fit the unicorn mold • Stabilize and integrate core services • Apply strategic growth tactics led by our in-house growth marketing team CleverFunnel • Identify strategic roll-up opportunities to strengthen marketability  • Exit profitably in 3-5 years With 13 acquisitions and multiple successful exits under our belt, we've proven that early-stage tech companies don't need venture funding to thrive—they just need the right partner to edit their story. We’re a team of former founders and operators who know what it takes to right-size a company so it can reach its full potential. Looking for an alternative to venture? Think our vision may align with your project? Let's connect. #PrivateEquity #B2BTech #TechInvestment #ValueCreation

In an industry managing trillions, why is the marketing for investment firms always so... uninspired? Think about it. How many "thought leadership" articles have you scrolled past today? How many generic fund websites have you seen that all look the same? While investors are busy making critical decisions, their brand often grows stale and ineffective. In an increasingly competitive landscape, that's a luxury no firm can afford. But what if you could: - Cut through the noise with a brand story that actually resonates? - Attract top-tier deals without relying solely on your network? - Accelerate portfolio growth with tailored, data-driven marketing strategies? - Position your fund as a true thought leader, not just another voice in the echo chamber? It's time to disrupt the disruptors. The future of VC/PE marketing isn't about playing it safe—it's about bold, data-driven strategies that turn heads and open doors. Ready to revolutionize your fund's approach to marketing?

Wow, what a day! 🎉 We’re thrilled to share some fantastic news: Linc, one of our portfolio companies at Stage, has just been acquired by Capacity. When we first met the Linc team, we knew they were onto something special. Their vision for revolutionizing customer experiences with AI was bold, but we were able to help them achieve that vision and become a part of an even bigger project at Capacity. Linc brings a suite of self-service tools for retail and e-commerce to Capacity’s platform, enhancing its ability to streamline customer interactions and automate complex service processes. Meanwhile, Linc founder and CEO Fang Cheng is set to lead Capacity’s e-commerce efforts. This exit isn't just a win for Linc and Stage. It’s a testament to the power of believing in innovative ideas and the teams behind them. It's moments like these that remind us why we love what we do. To the incredible Linc team: You've knocked it out of the park. Your creativity and perseverance have paid off! To the Stage team: This is what happens when we trust our instincts and back transformative ideas. Let’s keep the momentum going. Here's to spotting potential, nurturing innovation, and celebrating the wins along the way. Can't wait to see what's next!
