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
Our revenue financing platform uses revenue purchases and secured loans to provide private companies with a differentiated cost of capital that is less dilutive and cumbersome than traditional financing options.
- Financings are overcollateralized by expected future receipts and amortize monthly, often over a period of 12-18 months
- Proceeds mostly used to fund near term growth initiatives and tuck-in acquisitions
- We target companies ranging between $10 – 50mm+ of revenues
- Efficient underwriting process better aligns us with management teams
Serengeti identifies assets that are difficult to source and underwrite. These assets often present an opportunity to build financing platforms at scale in unique asset classes.
- Our structuring expertise allows us to develop customized financing solutions to address challenges in overlooked areas of the market, such as litigation and sports financing and media rights
- Highly structured financings can include negotiated protections and enhancements to provide downside protection while generating attractive, uncorrelated returns
As an extension of our financing platforms, Serengeti pursues direct investment opportunities across the capital structure. Our experience allows us to navigate comfortably across various sectors, asset classes and strategies.
