General Atlantic

General Atlantic was founded in 1980 as a private investment firm to invest the funds of the Atlantic Philanthropies established by Charles Feeney, a global entrepreneur and one of the world's most notable philanthropists. Since then, we have added capital partners who share Mr. Feeney's philosophy of investing for the long-term, building value over time.

It is from this heritage that GA has grown into a leading global growth investment firm. Our employees, portfolio companies and capital partners all share a common vision for building industry leaders and providing value-added support. We measure our achievements in terms of long-term growth, not immediate returns. We partner to build something bigger and stronger, connecting patient capital with business leaders and adding value over time.
