Matching entrepreneurs to investors are key elements of our business. CVP has an extensive network including investment funds and angel investors with extensive exposure to entrepreneurs in the technology industries. CVP is well placed to match investors and businesses with similar goals and objectives.
Fundraising Services
Since inception in 2004 CVP has been involved in the fundraising process for many opportunities. The CVP team has had experience in raising funds for both business start ups and expansions.
Early-stage investment
Seed capital, or early stage funding, is extremely rare in South Africa because SA lacks true venture capital. Funding for new ventures has often had to be sourced from private investors, commonly referred to as Business Angels. Finding such private investors, however, is extremely challenging for entrepreneurs. CVP has an established and wide network of business angels who are constantly looking for new and exciting business opportunities to invest in.
Expansion capital
Businesses at a later stage of the business life cycle that are looking to expand into new markets or products can raise capital through private equity and venture capital funds. These are a major source of entrepreneurial funding and CVP's relationships and track record has positioned us to understand the investment mandates of South African funds and to allocate our funding efforts to the most appropriate resources.
Investor Services
Sourcing Investment opportunities
CVP also works closely with South African funds to source and screen investment opportunities in technology industries. Being a key player in establishing Hasso Platner South Africa we have become a strategic partner in sourcing these opportunities.
Advisory and Interim management services
CVP has also got a strong track record of working with investment funds to help commercialize existing projects by providing turnaround and interim management services to under-performing investments in the technology sector.
