About
Layer Global is a technology investment firm headquartered in New York, founded in 2026 by Anton Levy, former co-president and chairman of global technology investing at General Atlantic, alongside several of his former colleagues. Operating globally with a debut fund of approximately $1.1 billion, the firm positions itself as an active, hands-on partner rather than a passive source of capital, helping founders recruit talent, expand internationally, reach new customers, and navigate critical decisions. Layer Global aims to be the most important partner to the world's most innovative and fastest-growing technology companies.

Investment Thesis

Layer Global's investment thesis centers on artificial intelligence as a multi-decade platform shift, seeking to back world-class founders building category-defining companies through structural transitions such as AI, cloud, and data-driven systems. The firm applies growth-equity underwriting discipline—analytical rigor and pattern recognition to distinguish early momentum from durable growth—to concentrated, earlier-stage investments in the highest-quality businesses with structural advantages, recurring revenue, and large end markets.
