Funding prosperity
Venture Capitalworks is focused on providing growth funding for disruptive businesses that are
driving inclusion in the Financial Services, Healthcare and Education verticals.
Born out of
Capitalworks
Bringing over 18 years of expertise to the market, Capitalworks is a leading EM Private Equity fund manager. Our VC approach and thesis has been validated with over 11 years of building a successful balance sheet VC portfolio.
Led and managed by
entrepreneurs
The VCW team have incubated, accelerated and exited a number of disruptive early stage businesses and bring this experience to provide our partners with hands-on strategic and operational support.
Venture built on our
heritage
Our approach is inspired by our private equity heritage and guided by our proprietary methodology for protecting downside, driving organic growth and maximising value at exit.
Commitment
not optionality
We are building a deep and focussed portfolio of 8-10 investments who we engage with on a high-touch basis.
Significant
equity positions
We target opportunities at the Growth stage where we acquire significant equity positions. By funding the majority of the post-seed round we help founders consolidate their capital raising efforts allowing them to focus on the business.
Post-revenue
product/market fit
We target opportunities that have demonstrated product-market fit, are post-revenue and that are positioned to dominate large niche regional markets and/or are able to scale globally.
High-touch
engagement
We have a 3 point approach to creating value: we broaden the strategic vision for the businesses to create more options at exit; identify new revenue streams, and assist with driving customer acquisition through our media partnerships and performance marketing team.
Venture Capital underpinned by Private Equity expertise
De-risk and grow
through high-touch
Businesses are grown through intellectual and operational effort, which we implement using our high touch methodology, thus reducing future capital requirements.
Fund
through each cycle
Given the reduced capital requirements we are able to fund through each cycle without the need to go to capital markets for the traditional VC raise process.
Proven
approach
We have a proven track record and methodology in investing in this way.
