Its venture and growth capital activities span the full spectrum, from seed/startup and early-stage funding to emerging growth, turnaround situations, mid-venture, late-venture, and Private Investment in Public Equity (PIPES). Carlyle structures its investments across four primary segments: Corporate Private Equity, Real Assets, Global Market Strategies, and Solutions.
