Together, we are building a global bridge for our clients

With the merger we will join forces in cross-border deals. Capital Clarity is headquartered in Silicon Valley, the largest technology hub in the world. Carlsquare´s European clients now have direct access to the North American marketplace. The place where successful technology companies of all over the world can create growth and increase value.

We put culture at the heart of the deal

We want to work as entrepreneurs for entrepreneurs. Michael Moritz and Mark Miller founded Carlsquare in 2000 and want to keep this company culture. With Susan Blanco and John Cooper they met two like-minded founders, who share identical core values and founding principles.

All 20 partners at Carlsquare focus on investing in long-term partnerships with founders, investors and leadership teams with a personal, hands-on approach and they all believe in cross-border growth momentum.

Carlsquare and Capital Clarity will operate globally under the Carlsquare brand.
