Rho Capital Partners
Rho Capital Partners is the parent company to Rho’s three operating divisions, Rho Ventures, Rho Canada Ventures and Rho Fund Investors. Founded in 1981, Rho began its private equity activities as a family investment office. Today, Rho is a leading private equity firm that manages a series of funds, under each of its three divisions, backed by a broad group of institutional investors that include endowments, foundations, families, pension funds, and other financial institutions. Across all of Rho’s activities and strategies, our teams are committed to investing in growth and building companies over the long-term. Unique among private equity firms, Rho’s three divisions are each managed by dedicated teams who invest separate funds, yet all benefit from actively cross-leveraging other divisions’ networks to generate differentiated perspectives and insights.
