## About the name

The camel thorn (Vachellia erioloba) is a defining tree of the Kalahari. It thrives where little else can, sending its roots deep in search of water. Camel Thorn Capital aims to build businesses that are similarly resilient and deeply rooted, and to be a patient, long-term partner.

## Frequently asked questions

### What does Camel Thorn Capital do?

Camel Thorn Capital helps founders and owners build and grow their businesses. We combine three disciplines under one roof: business incubation, private investment and corporate finance advisory, so you work with one team that knows your business inside out.

### How do incubation, investment and corporate finance advice differ?

Incubation is hands-on building: strategy, business model, go-to-market and setting up operations, finance and governance. Private investment means we invest our own capital in early-stage and growth businesses. Corporate finance advice covers capital raising, mergers and acquisitions, valuations, financial modelling and deal structuring.

### What stage of business do you work with?

Every stage, from idea through launch, growth and transaction. We work with founders who have an idea or an early-stage venture, established businesses ready for expansion, an acquisition or new capital, and owners planning succession, a partial sale or an exit.

### Do you invest your own capital?

Yes. At present we invest only our own capital, alongside founders and owners, using flexible structures tailored to each business and a long-term, partnership-minded approach.

### Are you raising money from investors?

Not at this moment. Camel Thorn Capital currently invests only its own capital: we do not solicit investment, raise funds from third parties or offer securities to the public. Nothing on this website is an offer, an invitation to invest or investment advice, and the same applies to the businesses in our portfolio: links to their websites are for information only. See our legal notice.

### Can you help us raise capital, buy a business or sell one?

Yes. Our corporate finance team advises on equity and debt capital raising, mergers, acquisitions and disposals, valuations, deal structuring and transaction support.

### Which businesses are you currently incubating?

Our current incubator portfolio is Innomotus, Fintradax, Banklify, Saenwerk and 28fitech.
