ShawSpring Partners

ShawSpring Partners is a Boston-based investment firm founded in 2014. The firm manages capital on behalf of a select group of global institutions, including university and hospital endowments, charitable foundations, family investment offices, and high-net-worth individuals. ShawSpring is registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

The firm's investment philosophy centers on a single, long-term approach aimed at generating high absolute returns and meaningful outperformance of market indices. ShawSpring focuses on studying business models globally in the technology, internet, and consumer sectors, typically attracted to industry leaders with defensible competitive advantages, resulting in durable unit economics and attractive free cash flow generation. The firm specifically targets three business model types: scaled aggregators (such as marketplaces or networks), vertically-integrated capital-intensive businesses, and cognitive referents.

Given its long-term approach, ShawSpring places a premium on exceptional managerial character and strong management team alignment with shareholder interests. The firm's research efforts culminate in a concentrated portfolio of high-growth businesses that it believes can compound capital over a multi-year investment horizon.
