About

Founded by Henry Kravis in 1996 and capitalized by New York’s leaders of business and finance, our mission is to mobilize our investors’ resources—their money, time and influence—to create jobs, spur new business creation and to expand opportunities for all of the city’s residents and neighborhoods.

The Partnership Fund for New York City is the $170 million investment arm of the Partnership for New York City, New York’s leading business organization. Our mission is to mobilize our investors’ resources—their money, time and influence—to create jobs, spur new business creation and to expand opportunities for all of the city’s residents and neighborhoods.

We invest exclusively in New York City-based ventures—both for-profit and nonprofit—with an overall job creation priority. As an “evergreen” fund, realized gains are continuously reinvested.

The city’s business leaders help us identify and support promising entrepreneurs, with hundreds of business leaders contributing annually on our sector advisory boards, investment evaluation teams and as judges and mentors in our programs.
