Who We Are

Built for the Hard-to-Underwrite

Serengeti is a value-driven opportunistic investment firm that provides sophisticated financing solutions to innovative private companies and their shareholders.

Founded in 2007 by Jody LaNasa, Serengeti is a value-driven opportunistic investment firm specializing in situations where assets are hard to source and underwrite, solutions require non-traditional terms, and the opportunity falls outside the focus of larger credit players.

We focus primarily on technology, defense, and related growth sectors. Through innovative structuring and a long-term partnership mindset, we deliver tailored solutions across three complementary platforms: Private Stock Finance, Special Situations, and National Security Direct Lending (via Rochefort Asset Management).
