Back·Swing
In golf, the Backswing is the swing sequence that brings the club to its apex before striking the ball, and the crux of any well-executed stroke.
An effective backswing is the culmination of countless hours of practice, focus, repetition and refinement. So is our investment strategy. Bringing a wealth of expertise and years of experience to bear, Backswing Ventures deploys precisely these traits to create and deliver excellence to our founders and investors.
Who We Are ?
Backswing was founded in 2020. Fund I was an industry-diversified fund launched at the commencement of a global pandemic. Despite inherent challenges, it has been successful to date with two full exits and a partial secondary sale of an existing portfolio company.
The experience gained from the initial fund, as well as an expanded network of founders and investors, led to increased specialization as Fund II was launched in early 2023. Currently, Backswing operates almost exclusively in the Defense and Dual-Use Technology spaces. We look forward to the upcoming launch of our third fund.
