BlackRock Private Equity Partners (PEP) is the private equity unit of BlackRock, the New York-headquartered asset manager. It runs direct, primary, secondary and co-investment strategies for institutional and wealth clients, with $55.2B in capital commitments across those strategies. Its direct and co-investment activity includes growth-stage positions in private technology companies, usually alongside lead venture or growth investors rather than as a lead. Cheques are typically large and reserved for later rounds. UK investments in this directory include GoCardless's $312M Series G in 2022 and insurer Marshmallow's $90M growth round in 2025\. The group invests from offices in the United States and Europe, including London.
