Financing solutions and partnership with sector experts for founders
AshGrove offers a suite of non-dilutive financing solutions in combination with a deep knowledge of B2B software and services to empower businesses in their growth aspirations. Our thematic approach allows us to address a wide array of objectives, with the flexibility to tailor our financing to the unique goals and intricacies of any capital raise in question. Our deep understanding of the market and the business models in which we invest means we operate as a partner to management teams, rather than just a capital provider. We offer advice and strategic insights where relevant and have the ability to provide additional capital over time to support the long-term growth of the businesses we are backing.
