ABOUT MANFRED KRIKKE

I founded Front Range Growth Capital to invest in exceptional founder-led technology growth companies and support those founders in their next phase of their growth. Front Range Growth Partners is a US growth equity firm, based in Boulder, CO, that partners with exceptional founder-led technology companies in the United States and Europe as they scale into global category leaders. The firm invests in proven, high-growth businesses and works closely with founders to build world-class teams and effective cultures, driving international expansion, operational excellence and prepares them for their next phase of growth and a potential US IPO. I have 30 years of technology experience as an entrepreneur, investment banker and investor. While currently based in Amsterdam and focused on European Technology growth investments, I worked in the US for 16 years, primarily in Silicon Valley, where I managed over 30 transactions in the technology sector, with an aggregate value of over $2 Billion, including 16 Nasdaq IPOs and took a silicon valley start up from inception to a successful Nasdaq IPO as an entrepreneur and part of the management team. After spending time in the entrepreneurial trenches I first started investing in technology start ups and growth companies at TPG as one of the founding partners of TPG Ventures (the predecessor to TPG growth). Domain expertise includes technology, Software (as a Service), Consumer and B2B Internet and consumer product sectors.
