Bombora provides investors with early access to emerging companies. It seeks to partner with management teams of high growth businesses and manage them through their growth journey. The investment approach is ‘active’ to the extent the Bombora team often join the Board of portfolio companies and inject a combination of capital and operational expertise to unlock their growth and value potential.
