Metropolitan specializes in securing growth capital and/or sponsorship to experienced entrepreneurs referred by our network of institutional and individual investors. Metropolitan's extensive resources and network of relationships provide a differentiated platform to successfully identify and evaluate investment opportunities and add measurable value to our portfolio companies.

We focus our investments above all on:

  • Seed and early stage financing of ventures conceived by strong and visionary leaders and with prospects of steep growth trajectories.

  • Growth financing for businesses with a proven delivery model and a strong management team in charge which are in need of financing to accelerate their growth.

  • Leveraged buyouts/ management buyouts of high potential small and medium enterprises.

  • Distressed funding for businesses that have lost liquidity, yet can be healed and turned around with the right level of financing and management attention.

Our investments are guided by an underlying belief in business growth and long term value creation. We use a thematic investment approach that targets specific growth industries where our team has the requisite domain knowledge and prior experience.
