Serengeti is an opportunistic value-driven investment firm focused on flexible capital solutions for innovative private companies and their shareholders.
Strategies
Serengeti invests in and builds financing platforms for attractive but complex assets that others overlook. Our capital solutions seek to address these opportunities through customized deal structures.
Serengeti’s unicorn stock financing platform finances interests in late-stage private companies using a shareholder’s stock as collateral. Using our structure, shareholders can access liquidity while preserving more of the upside potential in their private company stock as compared to selling into the secondary market, assuming that the stock performs well.
- Focus on mid-and late-stage private technology companies with valuations exceeding $1bln
- Financings are overcollateralized and allow for shareholders to receive an advance while retaining significant upside participation in the company
- Serengeti earns a return through a PIK financing rate and a fee paid in stock
- Through this product we have helped employees at over 100 different large technology companies with their liquidity needs
- Originate through numerous sourcing channels, including continuing right-of-first-refusal arrangements with Secfi Inc.
Our private credit strategy provides loans to primarily non-sponsored middle market companies and opportunistic special situations
- Direct Lending
- Short duration loans ranging between 12-36 months, typically
- Senior secured and overcollateralized by revenues, assets, and enterprise value
- Amortizing monthly, generally after a brief interest-only period
- Opportunistic Special Situations
- Loss-protected structures to opportunities requiring tailored financial solutions
- Generate attractive, uncorrelated returns
- Our structuring expertise allows us to address challenges in overlooked areas of the market, such as litigation finance, and sports financing and media rights
