Our Mission
At Activus Capital, our mission is to deliver independent, high-conviction corporate advice that helps a select group of clients execute their capital program and growth strategy with confidence.
Our Story
Activus Capital was created to close a gap we kept seeing in the market.
High-potential businesses with real momentum, but without a trusted, independent partner to turn strategy into capital and execution.
We’re a corporate advisory and market development firm helping dynamic companies scale through capital, strategic partnerships and structured market access, often including territory and distribution arrangements.
Our team brings deep experience across investment banking, private equity, venture capital, asset management and corporate leadership combining strategic clarity with practical execution to accelerate growth and build enduring value.
