Justin Sadrian

Justin Sadrian is a Managing Director at Warburg Pincus, where he serves as Co-Head of the firm's U.S. Technology group and is a member of the firm's Executive Management Group. He joined Warburg Pincus in 2000 and has spent his entire private-equity career at the firm, focusing on software, information, internet, and mobile investments. Warburg Pincus is one of the oldest and largest global growth investors, so despite the "Angel Investors / Seed Round" labels in the stub data, Sadrian invests firm capital into growth-stage and later-stage technology companies rather than writing seed-stage angel checks.

Over his tenure he has held several leadership roles inside the firm, including running Warburg Pincus's San Francisco (West Coast) office from roughly 2012 to 2016 and briefly co-heading the firm's Business Services Group before concentrating on technology. Prior to Warburg Pincus, he worked at J.P. Morgan in both its Investment Banking and Private Equity groups.

He earned a B.A. from Dartmouth College and an M.B.A. from Harvard Business School. Beyond investing, he is active in philanthropy and governance: he sits on the Leadership Council of Robin Hood (a New York anti-poverty organization), serves on the Dartmouth Athletics Advisory Board, and chairs the "Warburg Pincus Gives Back" committee.

• Invests in software, information services, internet, and mobile businesses — the core of Warburg Pincus's U.S. technology strategy that he co-leads.
• Operates as a growth-equity / late-stage investor, not a seed or angel investor; targets companies with established products and revenue that need capital and operating partnership to scale.
• Has repeatedly backed tech-enabled marketplaces, SaaS, compliance/data, and logistics businesses (e.g., OfferUp, Grubhub/Seamless, Avalara, Assent, BlueGrace Logistics).
• Track record includes taking or supporting portfolio companies through IPOs and large strategic exits (e.g., Avalara, Endurance International, Grubhub), suggesting a thesis oriented toward scalable, category-leading platforms.
