In contemporary society, investment companies are deemed as very important, due to the fact that they pool resources and expertise to support breakthrough innovations, driving industry growth through new technological advancements. There are alternative investment companies, like Blackridge, which is a boutique alternative investment company founded in 2018, specializing in private thematic investing. Blackridge focuses its investments in disruptive technologies, innovations, and the global progression of the economy and manages over $1.2 billion in private capital.
Blackridge’s strategy is based on identifying transformative opportunities by gaining a holistic view of market dynamics. Through in depth research and actively identifying current trends, Blackridge continues to deliver consistent long-term returns to its broad institutional client base of both private and public entities.
Nathan Gauvin is the Founder, CEO, and CIO of Blackridge. Nathan has over seven years of executive experience in the alternative investment space.
Before founding Blackridge, Nathan was the Venture Partner at Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), where he focused on both maximizing the value of each investment opportunity as well executing and refining investment strategies. His role at A16z involved identifying cutting-edge investments for the firm.
In 2017, Nathan co-founded TaxBit, a venture business that he scaled independently before its majority purchase by A16z in 2019. This experience has provided Gauvin with a solid foundation focused on operational efficiencies and strategic growth tactics that he now deploys in the everyday activities at Blackridge.
Since Nathan’s founding of Blackridge, assets under management have surpassed $1.7 billion. In addition to building out a core team of researchers, associates, and traders, Nathan has established relationships with venture firms and hedge funds that improve the reach and overall potential of Blackridge.
