Brian Long, co-founder and Managing Partner of Atlantic Bridge, is leaving the company to establish his own technology fund based in the US.
Growth equity firm Atlantic Bridge has €1.4 billion of assets under management.
Brian Long said that his time with Atlantic Bridge has been some of the most rewarding and satisfying of his career.
“I want to acknowledge especially the many investors who trusted us to manage their funds and the investee companies with whom I have worked so closely over so many years, some of which I will continue to serve as an advisor and board representative into the future,” he said.
“In particular, I will continue as a director of Navitas Semiconductor which realised a $4 billion valuation at IPO stage, and as a member of the advisory board to SambaNova whose Series F round recently reached an $11 billion valuation, and is planning a NASDAQ IPO next year,” he said.
“I was very pleased to have led the investment into Elisity, which recently announced its sale to IonQ in an all-stock transaction valued at up to $1.3 billion,” he added.
