Working with Us

Limited Partners

The team at Century Capital Management has attracted and nurtured relationships with premier institutions in the insurance, risk management and financial services industries. This relationship driven approach, along with our strong investment track record, has enabled the firm to attract an impressive list of insurance and financial services companies, university endowments, and public pension funds as Limited Partners.

Portfolio Companies

Support of the companies in the firm’s portfolio goes far beyond merely providing capital. Century Capital is an active investor that works closely with entrepreneurial management teams to help support and accelerate revenue growth. As board members of the portfolio companies, Century seeks to leverage its industry connections and network of relationships to help open doors to decision makers on behalf of its portfolio company management teams. These efforts have helped the firm’s portfolio companies secure new customer contracts, strategic business partners, and acquisition opportunities.

Century Capital leverages the experience of its team members to help portfolio companies develop, implement and execute corporate strategies, attract top quality talent, and, when the timing is appropriate, direct the company towards an exit opportunity.

The Investment Process

Century Capital seeks to invest in expansion and later stage companies that have demonstrated market acceptance of their products and/or services and who have the potential to generate significant revenue growth and be leaders in their respective markets. The firm focuses exclusively on companies that operate in the insurance, risk management and financial services industries.

The investment process, as outlined below, enables the firm to identify the most promising opportunities, complete due diligence, and make investment decisions in an efficient and timely manner.
