High Technology

Changing the world requires character and ability. As an experienced company funding high tech, we believe talent represents the most formidable barrier to entry into these markets. We are committed to working with the best technology teams that are still finding fundamental scientific and technology breakthroughs with which to transform industries.

Our high performance electronics strategy is focused on two sectors.

• The $150 billion consumer electronics market is seeing advanced architectures push the performance curves for communications, audio and video processing, and memory density and display.


• In the $250 billion semiconductor markets, new design, materials, and equipment platforms are delivering on constantly shrinking nanometer scale devices.

We also see the promise of strategic outsourcing services, which use technology to provide operational excellence rather than merely deliver simple cost arbitrage. CMEA emphasizes the outsourcing of primarily U.S.-based high-value and high-touch services. Our portfolio companies can provide economies of scale for today's best-run companies that are outsourcing functions that are separate from core competencies.
