What we Offer

We partner with organisations to design and deliver innovative finance solutions. Our support always depends on the problems and opportunities at hand - whether that’s unlocking new funding, structuring a breakthrough financial vehicle, or orchestrating capital to change systems. Broadly, our partners look to us in three key ways:

Strategy

We help organisations make sense of the impact finance landscape and discover new ways to sustain and scale their work.

That includes developing clear problem–solution–finance theses, identifying and diversifying capital sources, and crafting impact strategies that match ambition with opportunity.

Design

We specialise in creating bespoke capital mechanisms including funds, facilities, and instruments.

Using a unique step-wise design method and drawing from more than 40 different mechanisms and structures, we shape solutions that are tailored, practical, and often unconventional. Their purpose is to enable new flows of capital where they’re most needed.

Arrange

We bring the pieces together – from all angles. This means structuring systemic investment solutions, building the financial backbone for system change, and engaging the right investors, partners, governance and beneficiaries to move into implementation efficiently.
