## History and people
Sumit Rajpal announced the formation of GrowthCurve in 2021 after a 20-year career at [Goldman Sachs](https://www.edgepedia.org/goldman-sachs), where he was named partner in 2010, served as Global Co-Head of the Merchant Banking Division (MBD), and was Co-Chief Investment Officer of West Street Capital Partners VII, the bank's flagship private equity fund.[1](https://www.growthcurvecapital.com/post/sumit-rajpal-announces-formation-of-growthcurve-capital) The firm launched with what its announcement described as 20 investors and functional executives plus ten advisors.
The launch leadership team named in the firm's release includes: Matthew Popper (Head of Financial and Information Services Investing, previously at Goldman Sachs MBD), Sanjay Swani (Chief Investment Strategist and Head of Technology Investing, previously a partner at Tailwind Capital and Welsh Carson Anderson & Stowe), Michael Finke (Chief AI Architect, previously founder and CEO of M*Modal), Ronnie West (Human Capital, previously at [IHS Markit](https://www.edgepedia.org/ihs-markit)), Sajjad Jaffer (Data [Analytics](https://www.edgepedia.org/analytics) and Machine Learning, previously at Two Six Capital), Mark Uhrmacher (Digital Transformation) and Vignesh Aier (Healthcare Investing).[1](https://www.growthcurvecapital.com/post/sumit-rajpal-announces-formation-of-growthcurve-capital) By the June 2023 close of its first fund, the firm said it had over 25 professionals.[4](https://www.growthcurvecapital.com/post/growthcurve-capital-closes-inaugural-fund-and-raises-1-4-billion-of-capital-commitments)
SEC filings identify the fund structure's governing entities: GrowthCurve Capital Partners II GP LLC serves as general partner of Fund II, with Rajpal as its manager and executive officer, and GrowthCurve Capital LP as investment adviser.[2](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/2057432/000095010325004684/0000950103-25-004684.txt)
## Strategy
GrowthCurve describes itself as a control-oriented investor, meaning it seeks stakes large enough to direct a company's strategy, in growth-focused businesses with substantial data assets. Its stated value-creation approach applies artificial intelligence, digital transformation, and human-capital programs to portfolio companies, the "growth curve" from which the firm takes its name.[1](https://www.growthcurvecapital.com/post/sumit-rajpal-announces-formation-of-growthcurve-capital) These are the firm's own descriptions; independent reporting on how the strategy has performed is absent from the public record.
## Funds
**Fund I (2021 vintage).** In June 2023 the firm announced the fund's final close with $1.4 billion of capital commitments for the fund and related co-investment vehicles, raised from pension funds, insurance companies, [family offices](https://www.edgepedia.org/family-office), and other institutional investors.[4](https://www.growthcurvecapital.com/post/growthcurve-capital-closes-inaugural-fund-and-raises-1-4-billion-of-capital-commitments)
**Fund II (2025 vintage).** On April 10, 2025 the firm filed Form D for GrowthCurve Capital Partners II LP, a Delaware private equity fund reporting approximately $662,427,445 sold.[2](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/2057432/000095010325004684/0000950103-25-004684.txt) A companion vehicle, GrowthCurve Capital Partners II Opportunities LP, reported $185,000,000 sold in an amended Form D filed April 10, 2026.[3](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/2057431/000095010326005603/0000950103-26-005603.txt) That filing states that total commitments across the Opportunities fund, the main Fund II, and the parallel fund, inclusive of the general partner's commitment, are $911,300,000.[3](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/2057431/000095010326005603/0000950103-26-005603.txt) Both Fund II filings were offered under Rule 506(b) and Investment Company Act Section 3(c)(7), restricted to qualified purchasers, with Connaught (U.S.) LLC acting as placement agent.[2](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/2057432/000095010325004684/0000950103-25-004684.txt)
The filings confirm the three vehicles' combined commitments but do not detail how responsibilities are divided among them.
## Portfolio
At the June 2023 Fund I close, the firm said it had deployed roughly 50% of the fund's commitments across four companies: Mistplay, a game discovery and loyalty platform for mobile games; Brightway [Insurance](https://www.edgepedia.org/insurance); Revecore; and Netchex.[4](https://www.growthcurvecapital.com/post/growthcurve-capital-closes-inaugural-fund-and-raises-1-4-billion-of-capital-commitments) No purchase prices were disclosed.
For the Fund II period, the only available deal listings come from PitchBook, a gated aggregator whose figures cannot be independently verified from the sources in this record: PlanHub (September 9, 2025), Mobivity Holdings' Connected Rewards business (March 30, 2026) and MyChips (May 4, 2026).[5](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/investor/466747-48) These should be treated as unverified.
