Merchant banking
for the age of convergence
CoRise is a thematically oriented investment and advisory firm focused on connected systems. We define this as the convergence of distinct segments into and around digital media and information technology, with a particular emphasis on the ways such movements are driving new financial flows, markets and commerce. Our core offerings augment, enhance and leverage each other to the combined benefit of investments and investors across the enterprise lifecycle.
The thematic approach of CoRise is shaped by what we see as an era of increasing combination – between media and technology categories, between disparate industry sectors, and even between financial asset classes. This integration of strategies and fields has driven a great deal of innovation and is itself an innovation form demanding its own focus area.
Information – its sourcing, analysis, packaging, and distribution – and connectivity in an increasingly mobile environment, are together at the center of the described dynamic. The evolution and growth of these Connected Systems and realization of the field’s potential is a lens through which we see value creation, financial structure and strategic direction.
