Focusing on investing in high-growth, high potential privately owned companies through private equity, investment and funding.
We invest in high-growth private companies via private equity and we play an active role as a prominent shareholder (between 20 to 30% equity) through leadership and strategic direction as well as providing expertise, representation on the board of directors, as well as funding where required to the companies in our portfolio.

Growth Capital + Board-Level Expertise
We represent a respected South African Capital Fund Manager with a hands-on, value-adding approach to investment. This is not just about funding, it’s about strategic partnership with a team that has:
Led and grown multiple businesses to long-term prosperity
Held senior roles, including at JSE-listed companies
Decades of hard-won experience in scaling, restructuring, and driving sustainable growth
The Fund is looking to partner with businesses that meet these criteria:
At least 3–5 years’ trading history (no start-ups — proven operators only)
Net profit of R5 million to R10 million per annum (ideally R10m, but we can look at strong R5m+ cases)
Owners or management teams who want more than capital, they want a strategic growth partner
What’s on offer:
Investment between R5 million and R20 million, for an equity stake typically between 20% and 30%
Board and shareholder-level involvement from an investor with a track record of building value
Access to networks, operational insights, and governance that can materially shift the trajectory of the business
