Elevation Partners, Bono’s private equity firm, is actually named after a U2 song, “Elevation.” Since its founding, Elevation Partners has invested in a variety of media, tech, and entertainment companies.
For instance, in their first year, Elevation purchased a 1.5% ownership interest in Facebook. Reportedly, Bono pocketed $10 million in profit just three years later from the investment. By 2015, Elevation Partners was worth a whopping $1.9 billion! While most of us would stay put, Bono decided to move on and found another investment firm, The Rise Fund. Its website says the fund is “committed to achieving social and environmental impact alongside competitive financial returns.”
