Regardless of an investment's stage of development, industry focus or geography — the right people, with the right experience, are available to every entrepreneur and management team.
Warburg Pincus traces its
roots to E.M. Warburg & Co., an investment banking and private investment counseling firm founded in 1939 by
Eric M. Warburg. In 1966,
the firm joined with
Lionel I. Pincus & Co., a venture capital, investment and financial consulting firm. Having founded Warburg Pincus, Lionel Pincus and John Vogelstein, who joined in January 1967, brought a "professionalized approach" to venture capital and transformed a boutique investment management business into a private equity leader.
