Cow Corner is a Brighton-based, privately owned investment business founded in 2018 that backs UK knowledge-based services and software companies — primarily IT, software, education and training, specialist business services and professional services. The partners invest their own capital alongside that of friends and clients, making them the largest investors in every deal, which they believe drives genuine long-term alignment with founders. Cow Corner favours an obsessive focus on organic revenue growth over short-term 'rent extraction', takes both minority and majority positions, and deliberately avoids the '3–5-year exit cycle' mentality common in traditional private equity, preferring to own great businesses for as long as possible.
Notable quotes
“The combination of a deep trusting relationship between company and investor, real expertise and content, a renewed appetite for risk and experimentation, and an obsessive focus on long term growth can generate spectacular outcomes for both businesses and individuals. Making money and having fun in a way that adds value to society – that's as good as it gets.”
“One of our pet hates is the obsession that some of our peers have with '3-5-year cycles' and talk of 'exits'. The best way to make a lot of money as an investor is to own a good business for a long time.”
“We're entering a new era for digital care, one where predictive insights and integrated platforms will transform how care is delivered and managed.”
