Greenoaks is a venture capital firm that makes extremely concentrated bets, famously putting ~40% of its initial $50M fund into a single company (Coupang) that returned roughly $8B, and continues to hold and grow public equity positions in its breakout companies rather than exiting after IPO like most VCs. The firm backs only ~15 companies per fund with $25-75M initial checks and operates as a registered investment adviser with a lean team focused on contrarian, high-conviction investments that they partner with for decades.
