Silver Lake focuses on making large private equity investments in leading technology companies operating at scale. Our strategies for investment success include:

• Focus on market leaders and companies vying for market leadership
• Invest in growth
• Partner with management
• Serve as a value-added investor
• Structure creatively

Silver Lake seeks to invest in companies that possess an established business model and sustainable competitive advantage plus an opportunity to grow revenue and profits. The ideal target company for Silver Lake has an established position in its industry, a sustainable and profitable business model, a strong management team, and proprietary core technology and business processes.

Silver Lake's first priority is to identify attractive companies for investment and work with management teams to understand their operational goals. The firm then designs a transaction structure that is optimized to the investment opportunity. We believe that a transaction structure must not limit, and ideally should enhance, management's ability to operate effectively within the dynamic technology environment.
