VSI Capital
Capital, supply and deals. One desk, every market.
We back founders, find what your business needs anywhere in the world, and bring buyers and sellers together across borders. Three practices that share one network and one standard of follow-through.
Three practices
Each one makes the other two stronger.
A founder we back may need a manufacturer. A manufacturer we source from may one day want to sell. Because one team sees all three, you get introductions a single-purpose firm can't make.
Capital with an operator's bench behind it.
We invest in founders building in AI, defense, energy, cybersecurity, fintech and robotics. Then we put the rest of the VSI network to work for them.
- Pre-seed through growth
- Introductions to buyers
- Supply chain and manufacturing help
- Board-level support when you want it
Tell us what you need. We'll find who makes it.
Hardware, components, industrial goods, consumer products or a specialist service. We identify suppliers, check them before you commit, negotiate terms and manage delivery to your door.
- Supplier search and shortlists
- Factory and supplier audits
- Price and terms negotiation
- Freight, customs and delivery
The right buyer is rarely in your own city.
We represent owners selling a business, buyers looking for one, and companies seeking a partner in a new market. Confidential from the first call to the closing table.
- Sell-side representation
- Buy-side search
- Joint ventures and distribution partners
- Cross-border deal coordination
How a mandate moves
Five steps, whichever practice you start with.
Every engagement runs on the same rhythm, so you always know what happens next and who owns it. Click through the steps.
A conversation with someone who can say yes.
You speak with a principal, not a screener. We listen to what you're building, buying, selling or trying to source, and tell you straight away whether it's something we can help with.
What to bring
- A short description of the opportunity
- Your timeline and what's driving it
- Anything you can't share yet, so we know where the edges are
We agree what success looks like before any work starts.
Scope, responsibilities and fees are written down and signed. For confidential matters, a mutual non-disclosure agreement comes first.
What you get
- A written scope and plan
- A named lead on our side
- Clear fees, agreed up front
We check the things that sink deals late.
For an investment, that's the team, the market and the numbers. For a supplier, it's capacity, quality and compliance. For a transaction, it's financials, legal standing and fit.
What we check
- Ownership and legal standing
- Financial and operational records
- Sanctions and export-control screening
One desk keeps every party moving.
We coordinate counsel, accountants, suppliers, freight and counterparties so nothing stalls between inboxes. You get a short written update every week until it's done.
How you'll hear from us
- A weekly written status
- Decisions flagged before they're due
- A direct line to your lead
The relationship doesn't end at the signature.
Portfolio founders keep access to the network. Sourcing clients get reorder and quality support. Sellers and buyers get help with the handover that makes a deal hold.
After the close
- Introductions as your needs change
- Follow-on capital conversations
- Integration and transition support

How we work with you.
These are the commitments every client and founder gets, whichever door they come in through.
A principal on every call
The person you meet first is the person who stays on your matter.
A fast, honest answer
If it isn't a fit, we tell you quickly and, where we can, point you to someone better placed.
Confidential by default
We share nothing about you or your business without your written say-so.
Screened counterparties
Every supplier, buyer and investor is checked against sanctions lists before we introduce them.
Questions
Common questions
Do I have to use all three practices?
No. Most clients start with one. The advantage of one desk is that when you need a second, the people already know your business.
What size of company do you work with?
Founders from first funding onward, owner-led businesses, and established companies entering a new market. Tell us about yours on a first call and we'll say plainly whether we're the right fit.
Which countries can you source from or deliver to?
We work across the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia Pacific. Every supplier and destination is screened against sanctions and export-control rules, and we won't take on a shipment that fails that screen.
How do you charge?
It depends on the practice and the scope. Fees are agreed in writing before any work starts, and there's no charge for the first conversation.
Is this an offer to invest in a fund?
No. This website doesn't offer securities or fund interests to anyone. Investment conversations happen privately, with qualified parties, through proper documentation.
