Who We Work With

Raising Growth Capital

We work with a growing network of lower/mid-market PE firms, VCT funds and corporate VCs (CVC) aligned with proptech.

Expertise

Our financial acumen provides a solid base for financial modelling, valuations, and analysis before raising growth capital. Coupled with our in-depth industry knowledge and meticulous preparation this gives our clients a great head start as they go to market.

Uses Of Growth Capital

Often the first external investment into the business, generally used to achieve scale and take the business to the next level. Whether opening up new markets or new product areas, or creating a warchest to fund acquisitions and inorganic growth. PE capital also allows for some “chips off the table” to provide liquidity to early investors/founders.

Support From Investors

Bringing onboard a PE firm allows management to tap into experienced support in areas such as executive recruitment, internal systems, operational and back-office efficiencies, and strategic acquisitions. There is also significant value gained from working alongside other leadership teams and operators across the portfolio.
