Our Growth Capital team provides advisory, structuring, investing and funding for proven high-growth tech-enabled companies in the early stages of growth, as opposed to private equity companies that would typically invest predominantly in established, late-stage high-earning businesses.

Our investment approach
We have a sponsor-led approach to investing, offering solutions and networking opportunities with our strategic partners who want to match their existing businesses, networks or skillsets with growth companies. These partnerships can provide opportunities to leapfrog these high-growth companies to a point where they could become substantial enterprises and market leaders within their sectors.
We would describe the stages we invest as early Series A through to Series B funding. This means that the companies we invest in are not start-ups, but are entrepreneurial businesses in the early stages of growth, typically tech-enabled and scaling very fast. They are not yet large, established businesses that would qualify for private equity capital. We aim for minority stakes in the business and empower the founders to build and scale their own businesses.
Technology-enabled companies
We believe that technology is driving rapid evolution in the way business works, and we want to back and finance the evolution of technology-enabled businesses across various sectors.
A client-centric focus
Our client-centric approach ensures that we engage with and understand our clients and their vision, and then partner with them to accelerate the achievement of their goals for growth. We have a preference to be a long-term partner to entrepreneurs throughout the business evolution, as we are equipped to provide multiple rounds of financing through all growth stages.
We also have a strong emphasis on values and philosophy alignment. We invest to create shared value with our clients, and for society as a whole.
