ABOUT US

ROX Equity Partners, a United Kingdom-based private equity investment holding company, specialises in taking material interests in emerging and established companies leading industry disruption.

Our approach centres on fostering innovation and sustainable growth. We create shared financial interests with motivated management teams, empowering them to thrive in global markets. At ROX, we believe in shaping a better future by partnering with those who share our vision.

Our Approach

OUR APPROACH

Our approach hinges on forming strong partnerships with visionary management teams and co-investors to create substantial value by anticipating disruptive trends in carefully selected fields. Through shared financial interests, we build robust alliances, valuing these relationships as pivotal to our success.

We go beyond capital; we empower innovative leaders adept at navigating global markets. Our commitment extends to professionals who've commercialised their expertise and companies that have become indispensable to their clients.

Our partnership approach centres on collaborating with businesses that demonstrate clear leadership within their markets and the potential for global expansion. As partners, we encourage these organisations to invest in disruptive technologies, nurture talent, and champion growth initiatives.

We understand that the Return on Experience (ROX) is as critical as the Return on Investment (ROI) in our strategy. The value we bring extends beyond financial gains, encompassing the transformational experiences that drive our partners' and our own success.

BUSINESS STRATEGY

Our business strategy is centred on harnessing the transformative potential of technology to drive innovation. 

We embrace the impact of digital technologies on enhancing the quality of life. Our innovation strategy focuses on investing in the value chain of tailored and innovative solutions, capitalising on leaps in technology, advanced data analytics, and the synergistic relationship between artificial intelligence and human experiences.

We actively seek out technology businesses, with valuations up to $25 million. By partnering with these businesses, we aim to facilitate their growth and amplify their impact on the ever-evolving landscape of healthtech and technology-driven solutions, including Employee Benefits.

LEADERSHIP

ROX's world-class leadership team guides partners to realize their full potential, fostering success and growth. With capital, experience, and extensive networks, we actively contribute to achieving strategic goals, leading partner companies toward long-term success.
