Alastair Bushby

Alastair Bushby is a Partner at TPG, the global alternative asset management firm, where he leads capital formation and business development for TPG Growth and The Rise Funds (TPG's impact-investing platform). He joined TPG in January 2014 and has spent his tenure focused on raising and structuring capital from limited partners (institutional investors such as public pension funds) and on fund strategy, rather than on sourcing or leading individual company investments.

Before TPG, Bushby was an Investment Manager / Vice President at AlpInvest Partners (part of The Carlyle Group) from roughly 2009 to 2013, where he worked on primary fund investments and stapled secondary transactions across North America, Latin America, and Europe. Earlier in his career he held roles at EC Mergers & Acquisitions (EuroConsult Capital), where he focused on international M&A, and at Citigroup Global Markets, where he worked in structured finance.

Bushby holds a BSc (Hons.) in International Management and German from the University of Bath in the UK (2002–2006), and previously attended Hampton School. He is registered with FINRA in connection with TPG's broker-dealer entity (TPG Capital BD), consistent with a capital-raising / investor-relations function. He is based in TPG's San Francisco headquarters.

Note on the stub classification: the "Angel Investor / Seed Round" label attached to the original record does not match the verifiable record. Bushby is a capital-formation partner at a large-cap private equity and growth-equity firm; there is no public evidence of personal angel or seed-stage investing under his name.

• Bushby's professional focus is capital formation — raising institutional capital for TPG Growth and The Rise Funds — rather than making direct startup investments. Founders should read the theses below as the *funds he raises for*, not his personal check-writing.
• TPG Growth: middle-market and growth-equity platform investing across sectors, typically in more established, scaling businesses (well beyond seed stage).
• The Rise Funds: launched in 2016, an impact-investing platform built on the thesis that private enterprise can address societal challenges "while delivering strong financial returns." Over its first decade Rise has partnered with nearly 100 growth-stage, high-potential, mission-driven companies globally across climate, healthcare, education, financial inclusion, and related themes.
• What gets a "yes" at these platforms is growth-stage traction and measurable impact (for Rise) — not early/seed bets.
