Who we work with

Is this you?

You run a South African business with meaningful revenue, a clear growth thesis, and a need for roughly R5m–R50m in equity, debt, or blended capital. You’ve been operating long enough to show traction or a credible path - and you’re willing to invest in proper preparation.

Not the right fit? If you’re pre‑revenue or raising well below this range, we’ll often point you to accelerators, angels, or DFI programmes better suited to your stage - we’re honest when referral beats engagement.

Typical signals

  • R5m+ annual revenue (guideline)
  • 2+ years operating history (usually)
  • Audited or quality management accounts
  • Committed founder / leadership team
