The new millennium brought change to the traditional financing landscape. The volatility of the capital market and new regulations made it virtually impossible for early-stage companies to raise growth capital via an IPO as was done traditionally. The tables were set for innovations in the venture capital ecosystem. Enter Maslin Capital.
We are focused exclusively on supporting visionary founders at the early-stages of company formation and growth. We specialize in three categories: Venture Capital, Private Equity, and Impact Investment. We are committed to building businesses through deep sector specialization and dedicated operational support. Our investment theme includes but is not limited to Agriculture, Social, IT, Education, Health, and Green technology. We collaborate with companies to define high-impact growth initiatives, turn them into action and create long-term value.
Our vision is to be the most sought-after alternative investor within our sector focus, being a partner of choice for management teams and providing a rewarding environment for Maslin employees.
At Maslin Capital, a key defining attribute of all those who work here is entrepreneur empathy. Maslin itself is a homegrown startup, all of 5 years old. Like the startups we fund, we too face similar challenges, be it around fund raising or competing with marquee brands. This has helped instill in us a deep sense of empathy and an understanding of the challenges the entrepreneur faces. And that makes us deeply committed to supporting them through their journeys.
We strive to develop a reputation for being innovative, forward-looking, and fearless, embracing change and bold new ideas. Our objective is to be a valued partner on the entrepreneurial journey.
We listen. We support. We guide. – That is Maslin Capital’s wheelhouse.
