A diversified alternative investment platform allocating across top-tier Venture Capital, Private Equity, and Real Estate funds.
Sawtooth Equities is a single-family office dedicated to the multi-generational stewardship of capital. We view our firm not merely as an investment platform, but as a collaborative vehicle designed to look beyond short-term market cycles toward enduring capital appreciation.
Our partnership bridges decades of institutional asset management with hands-on enterprise software execution. This unique vantage point ensures we approach private markets with institutional-grade rigor, without losing touch with how modern companies actually scale. Through deep-rooted alliances with category-defining managers, we secure priority access to exclusive, off-market investment pipelines.
Sawtooth strategically leverages proprietary deal flow from its primary fund relationships to execute high-conviction direct investments in operating companies and select real estate equity and debt projects.
Early and growth stage technology with proprietary access to category-defining funds.
Small buyout strategy targets high-potential, lower-middle-market businesses by partnering with specialized, niche-focused emerging managers within less competitive, inefficient segments of the private equity market.
Equity and debt across multi-family housing and operating projects with conviction sponsors.
Professional Sports funds (NBA & NFL) for differentiated return streams.
Long-standing relationships with category-defining managers — sourcing returns and creating the proprietary access that defines our direct-investment program.
Proudly backing the category-defining companies shaping the future of technology, fintech, and artificial intelligence.
We view the rise of artificial intelligence not merely as a tech cycle, but as a fundamental rewiring of the global economy. Our venture and specialized fund mandates are actively deployed across two core pillars:
Through our elite manager network, our portfolio has maintained early, high-conviction exposure to defining pioneers (OpenAI and Anthropic) and we remain aggressively positioned to back the next wave of architectural leaders.
Capitalizing on the secondary and tertiary effects of this shift—including specialized infrastructure, localized energy demands, enterprise data layers, and the downstream industries being fundamentally transformed by widespread adoption.
