We invest in data- driven disruption
Data proliferation and rapid digitalization are redefining the world and creating generational opportunities. We aim to partner with entrepreneurs leveraging this disruption to build the next market leaders within their industries. As the earliest stage investment strategy at Sands Capital, we are long-term partners for growth, who support our portfolio companies through our combination of deep domain expertise and operating experience.
AI / ML will become a critical technology embedded within software, enabling transformative new applications, but also requiring a new suite of developer tools and data infrastructure.
Our online identity defines how we work and access critical applications and services – these online identities must be secured, and their data protected.
Healthcare institutions must adopt new technologies to improve the patient experience, automate manual processes, and enable a higher quality of care.
Consumers are increasingly working, playing, socializing, and transacting online, creating opportunities for businesses to shape these experiences through digital worlds and virtual goods.
Partners for Long-term Growth
Our experienced team is dedicated to cultivating deep, enduring partnerships with entrepreneurs and helping them grow their businesses.

From the outset, we were impressed with Chris, and the Sands Capital team’s understanding of our market. They know where the market is heading and what it needs. It has been a complete alignment with our vision.
Ajay Khanna

Frankly, I wish more venture capital firms worked that way. The type of support Scott and the Sands Capital team provides is what enables startups to build great, thriving businesses.
Navrina Singh
CEO
The team at Sands Capital has also introduced us to C-Level executives and decision makers that have turned into customers. It is hard to find a more concrete example of value-add than that.
Bryan Gold
CEO
We’ve had a great relationship with Mark and Mike. They have helped us make many connections and go beyond our own networks so that we can talk to more organizations that might benefit from the support Red Sift can offer.

A Bold Mission Requires a Strong Team
With decades of experience as pure growth investors, we know what it took for today’s leading businesses to get to the top, and together we can help the next generation of entrepreneurs get there.

The Global Ventures strategy is concentrated in a limited number of emerging technology companies. Some of the risks impacting the strategy include cybersecurity risk, cryptocurrency risk, risks associated with investing in India and China and special risks, such as products or services not proving commercially successful or quickly becoming obsolete.
Investment in a fund involves significant risk. No assurance can be given that a fund’s investment objectives will be achieved. An investment is only suitable for sophisticated investors for whom an investment does not constitute a complete investment program, who have experience with similar types of investments, and who understand, are willing to assume, and have the financial resources necessary to withstand the significant risks involved in the investment, including the potential for a complete loss of capital. Please review the risks outlined in the Private Placement Memorandum prior to investing.

As of October 1, 2021, Sands Capital was redefined to be the combination of Sands Capital Management, LLC and Sands Capital Alternatives, LLC (previously known as Sands Capital Ventures, LLC). Both firms are registered investment advisers with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission in accordance with the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. The two registered investment advisers are combined to be one firm and are doing business as Sands Capital. Sands Capital operates as a distinct business organization, retains discretion over the assets between the two registered investment advisers, and has autonomy over the total investment decision-making process.
