CAPITAL + EXPERTISE FOR EXCEPTIONAL FOUNDERS

More Than a Cheque

We take minority equity stakes in companies we invest in, typically through share purchase or convertible instruments depending on your stage and circumstances. In addition, we offer collaborative partnership structures, for example, joint-venture or revenue-sharing models. Where we provide capital and strategic advisory support. Terms are negotiated based on your valuation, capital needs, involvement level and growth trajectory. We’re flexible in our approach,  some investments include board observation rights and active advisory, others are more hands-off. Every deal is tailored to your situation.

Because we’re investing our own capital (not managing a fund), we can move more quickly than traditional investors. That said, every investment deserves proper consideration and due diligence. Timelines vary based on deal complexity, your readiness with documentation, and mutual availability for discussions. We don’t believe in dragging founders through endless meetings, but we also won’t rush critical decisions.

Many of our investments include strategic consulting and advisory support as part of the partnership. This typically covers: strategic advisory sessions, business model refinement, go-to-market strategy, operational setup guidance, founder mentorship, and access to our network. The specific focus areas and level of involvement are determined based on your immediate needs, business stage, and what we agree will create the most value.

Yes, our typical investment structure involves taking minority equity stakes in companies we back. This approach aligns our interests with yours long-term: we succeed when you succeed. Depending on stage, we may use direct equity or convertible instruments. For businesses with established revenue streams seeking growth but wishing to minimise dilution, we’re also open to alternative partnership models such as joint-ventures or structured revenue-sharing arrangements on a case-by-case basis.

We’re active, hands-on partners during the initial phase while delivering consulting services and helping you execute your growth strategy. After that, we maintain advisory relationships with portfolio companies as board members, observers, or informal advisors depending on the arrangement. The depth of ongoing involvement depends on your needs, our capacity, and what creates the most value for your business.

Absolutely. While Current Ventures is based in Mauritius, we work with founders globally. Remote collaboration is standard practice for us. What matters is the strength of your business, not your postal code.
