Lauder Partners, LLC is an entity investing in various realms of the technology field. We invest both directly in companies as well as in funds - both venture and others. Since it primarily invests the capital of Gary Lauder and family members, we don't provide much information to the public. However here is a bit more:

Areas of current investment interest: companies making radical innovations — not just incremental.  For examples, see portfolio companies. Not content nor programming (so no movies, documentaries, TV shows, games, etc.) Direct investments are only considered for the US and Canada, but the closer to Silicon Valley, the better. Initial investment sizes typically range from $5M to $500K. Sole interest is in investing in companies, not buying them.

We do not hire associates, interns nor other investment professionals as employees.

The best way to reach Gary Lauder is via e-mail, not social networks.

My phone # is (650) 323-5700...but I prefer e-mail for "cold calls.”  Note: that is my wireline # (not textable).

The fax # is (650) 323-2171 (please don't waste too many trees)
