BlackRock is a global asset manager whose private-market activities include growth equity and later-stage venture investing in companies with established products and commercial traction.

Its growth-equity approach uses systematic analysis alongside company research to assess a large universe of private businesses. It focuses on companies that have moved beyond the earliest venture risks and already demonstrate customer demand.

The platform examines where value is being created before companies reach mature buyout or public-market stages, including AI-native businesses and enabling infrastructure. This is a growth-financing model within a broader asset manager, rather than a single programme offering uniform startup terms.
