​
Sweat Equity
We use 'sweat equity' to confirm our stake in our partner business and impact via our Accelerator Programme.
Co-invest
We co-invest so have a vested interest in your success.
Talent
We can guide you towards talent acquistion and recruitment through our network of industry experts and professionals.
At Vigorate we amplify your organisation's value and maximise investment return.
Finding investment to grow your business can be challenging, especially during the early stages. Founders often lack financial resources, struggle with raising capital, and may find it difficult to evaluate their business potential.
For mature business owners, maximising the value of the company at the exit stage and creating an exit strategy can be challenging, especially when personal investment is involved.
​
Vigorate increases the prospects of start-up companies building their future by creating an investment and talent pool that will support companies as they grow, and amplifies the value of participating firms without depleting early-stage funding and maximising returns at the exit stage.
Team
Dedication. Expertise. Passion.
Our team of experienced and professional Investment Consultants excel in providing well-rounded and impactful levels of support to early-stage start-ups, both before and after investment, as well as supporting mature organisations with their exit strategies.
