Where do you stand?
Two clients. One process.
Ventures need capital, and capital needs certainty before it moves. Choose the path that matches your side of the transaction.
How we work
The cheapest capital first, then the next step.
Every financing mandate walks the same staircase: grants and programmes before debt, development-finance debt before private capital. You only climb as far as your venture needs.
Grants & programmes
The cheapest capital comes first. We map the grant and co-funding programmes that fit your venture and its partners, and prepare the application. Where the strongest application runs through your European partner, as it often does with develoPPP, we structure it with them.
develoPPP, AATIF Technical Assistance, USTDA, EU programmes
Development-finance debt
Long-term, competitively priced loans from development finance institutions. We prepare the file to lender standards, approach the right lenders across the market and manage the process to financial close.
DEG, AATIF, EDFI AgriFI, DFC, BII
Strategic investors
Where equity or strategic partners fit better, we structure the approach through our network across Europe, the Gulf and beyond, with licensed partners where execution requires them.
