Maslin Capital offers to invest in innovative early-stage startups with less than three years of operation and a sustainable competitive advantage. Investing in such early-stage projects are risky, however we strive to turn the risk into high return through our expertise. We look for businesses that provide a meaningful equity stake with board representations, appropriate shareholder protections and an investment horizon of approximately five years.
Impact investments are investments made with the intention to generate positive, measurable social and environmental impact alongside a financial return. Maslin seeks for businesses that can create impact in both emerging and developed markets, and target a range of returns from below market to market rate, depending on our strategic goals. We want to address the world’s most pressing challenges in sectors such as sustainable agriculture, renewable energy, conservation and affordable and accessible basic services including housing, healthcare, and education. Through our investment in diverse and viable opportunities, we want to offer social and environmental solutions and simultaneously produce high-returns.
Private equity involves investing in private companies (not listed in Stock Exchange) which have been operational for at least three years. We provide support to grow and develop the business for five to seven years before selling the business at a profit. Therefore, the capital provided by Maslin can facilitate expansion, to assist in the development of new products, new markets or fund changes in ownership.
