General Atlantic is leading a $75m funding round in coffee chain Blank Street at a $650m valuation, up from roughly $500m in 2025. The growth equity firm views Blank Street as a rare consumer-retail story with significant room to scale. Existing investors Left Lane Capital, General Catalyst, and Tiger Global are participating alongside the new lead, according to the Financial Times. Existing owner KKR is reinvesting to remain a substantial shareholder, with both firms backing the deal through their infrastructure vehicles.

Separately, KKR's investment in Atlantic Aviation has more than doubled in value. KKR acquired Atlantic Aviation from Macquarie Infrastructure in 2021 for about $4.475bn, implying 16.2 times 2019 earnings. A current valuation near $10bn represents over a doubling in roughly five years.

Additionally, Partners Group has agreed to be fully repaid on a position held nearly seven years. In 2019, Partners Group provided over $200m in financing to support TA Associates' acquisition of Gong cha and took a minority equity stake.
