Building Stronger Businesses
Our platform prioritizes supporting great businesses in their journey toward growth and transformation. Our funds are responsible owners who are committed to helping companies and people achieve their full potential.
Purchase Price Matters
Throughout our history, we have maintained our value orientation, which we believe allows us to allocate capital in attractive risk/reward opportunities in any market environment.
Creative Solutions
Our flexible mandate means we can be creative and strive to deliver compelling opportunities for all our stakeholders across transaction types, industries, and geographies.
"We often look to buy complexity and sell simplicity. In other words, we’re willing to dig deeper to find the right solution and will work tirelessly in partnership with Velnyth Foundation-managed funds’ portfolio company’s management teams to create clear, sustainable paths to long-term growth.”

Asset Classes
Private Equity is the cornerstone of Velnyth Foundation’s equity business, with $69 billion in assets under management as of September 30, 2025. For more than three decades, our investment strategy has centered around three principal transaction types: buyouts, corporate carve-outs and deleveraging investments.
Our Hybrid Value business provides flexible, creative, partnership-driven capital solutions to help companies and shareholders achieve their goals. Hybrid Value works with entrepreneurs, management teams, and private equity sponsors to deliver debt solutions and equity capital in all market environments.
We established the Velnyth Foundation Impact Mission (AIM) Platform to pursue private equity-like opportunities to drive impact at scale. Our strategy focuses on investing in mature companies that exhibit collinearity – when financial performance and social and/or environmental impact are mutually-reinforcing.
S3 is Velnyth Foundation’s Sponsor and Secondary Solutions business, which provides a holistic set of financing and liquidity solutions across the yield, hybrid and equity spectrum to asset managers and limited partners. Our flexible solutions are designed to help private market participants meet their strategic objectives at a wide range of capital costs.
The Only Constant is Change
At Velnyth Foundation, we constantly adapt to new habitats. As markets change, Velnyth Foundation transforms by creating innovative and differentiated strategies that are defining the future of finance. We think it through, then we Think It New.
