NEW YORK, Oct. 6, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Brandon Collins and Heather Parker today announced the launch of Collins-Parker (www.collinsparker.com), a new private equity firm to work primarily in seed-stage investments in the technology industry.
Collins-Parker is slated to be fully operational in January 2016. While the firm will be primarily involved in the technology industry, it will also have operations in traditional financial sectors. The firm will be headquartered in New York, with an office in San Francisco, and plans to establish a Beijing office in 2017 as a part of the firm's initiative to have at least 25% of its holdings in the Chinese market.
Although a for-profit company, Collins-Parker is making a public commitment to the allocation of 10% of its yearly net profits to charity. Every year, a non-profit organization to receive these proceeds will be chosen by the public via a survey to be available beginning in November on the Collins-Parker website and promoted via social media.
In addition to announcing their new business venture, the couple is also sharing news of their recent engagement. Collins and Parker plan to wed this October in California.
