NEW YORK, Jan. 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SuRo Capital Corp. (“SuRo Capital”, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, and “our”) (Nasdaq: SSSS) today provided the following preliminary update on its investment portfolio for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2024.
“Since inception, SuRo Capital has served as the public's gateway to venture capital, offering unique access to some of the world’s most innovative and sought-after private companies before they become publicly traded. Our diverse portfolio encompasses high-growth sectors including AI infrastructure, emerging consumer brands, and cutting-edge software solutions for both consumer and enterprise markets, among others,” said Mark Klein, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of SuRo Capital.
Mr. Klein continued, “This is an exceptionally promising time for our portfolio, and we are pleased to share several significant developments from the fourth quarter. As we have emphasized in recent quarters, increasingly favorable market conditions signal a reopening of the IPO window, and we are optimistic about what 2025 holds given the strong positioning of our portfolio.”
“In December, ServiceTitan, currently one of SuRo Capital’s largest investment holdings, successfully completed its IPO. Additionally, we are pleased to report the full exit of our position in Oklo achieving a remarkable return of over 20 times our initially invested capital in the AltC SPAC. This is yet another testament to the success of our SPAC sponsor strategy established several years ago.”
“Lastly, CoreWeave, an AI cloud computing provider and SuRo Capital’s largest aggregate investment, announced in November the completion of a $650.0 million secondary share sale reflecting the investment community’s continued confidence in one of the premier hyperscalers servicing the AI sector.”
Mr. Klein concluded by highlighting SuRo Capital’s recent investments, stating: “2024 has been one of our most active investment periods in the past decade. During the fourth quarter, we increased our position in CoreWeave, to an aggregate $25.0 million, through an additional $5.0 million secondary transaction and further bolstered our AI infrastructure portfolio by investing $12.0 million in VAST Data (through IH10, LLC), a platform that is revolutionizing productivity and data management in the AI-driven landscape.”
