In a market where exits remain scarce, Motive Partners completed 3 strategic exits in 100 days.

Across every stage of our platform, from venture to growth and buyout, we believe we’re seeing the same signal: strategic relevance has the potential to drive liquidity.

Each outcome reflects strategic demand and scarcity value, as Motive completed exits in:

  • With Intelligence to S&P Global: Creating one of the most comprehensive providers of the private markets intelligence in the world.
  • Forge Global to Charles Schwab: Democratizing access to private company investments, allowing clients to invest in pre-IPO companies.
  • Corastone to KKR (partial): Addressing the fragmented operational bottleneck in private markets to create a shared infrastructure layer, enabling standardized data and straight-through processing across GPs, wealth managers and fund administrators.

Our exclusive focus on fintech is our differentiator.

At Motive Partners, we believe that financial technology is both a vertical and horizontal sector with resilient and attractive investment dynamics.

Our deep specialization and expertise in fintech differentiates Motive from other private equity firms and is well-aligned with the sector’s demonstrated growth trajectory.

A category that cuts across every segment of the world economy, Motive invests in fintech and tech-enabled business services companies transforming the future of finance.

We are Investors. Operators. Innovators.

* 97 days measured between the closing of With Intelligence / S&P Global (November 25, 2025) and Forge / Charles Schwab (March 2, 2026).
