TriVest is a leading provider of equity for growth capital financings, middle market corporate acquisitions and recapitalizations. Since its founding, TriVest has experienced a huge demand for capital in the early stage sector in Southern Africa, where innovative early-stage and start-up companies often lack the financial, managerial and network resources for expansion and growth.
TriVest prefers to invest in quality small to medium sized companies, which possess or promise strong and defendable market positions in growing or fragmented industries. TriVest always co-invests with company management and pursues transactions which are supported by the management and Boards of Directors of the investee companies.
We also aim to become the preferred sponsor of small to middle market acquisitions. Our mission is to build a track-record of proven closing capabilities and the ability to successfully grow acquired businesses in concert with management.
TriVest pursues investment opportunities primarily within South Africa. However, with South Africa as the gateway to Africa, interesting ventures have materialized with both European and African companies.
TriVest is a member of the South African Private Equity and Venture Capital Association (SAVCA) and upholds the industry’s good practice and valuation principles.
