Introducing
Venture Capital Fund

Makia Venture fund identifies, advises and invests in equity instruments of select companies with potential to be the leader in their respective sectors. We support these companies through our in-house team of advisors and mentors, crafting strategic business roadmaps and guiding them towards going public through the SME platform or a main-board IPO.

Investment Avenues

Pre-IPO Investments

We actively seek opportunities to invest in promising SMEs before they go public. This provides critical capital during their early growth phases.

IPO Subscription

We see value in participating in Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) of SMEs, helping them transition into publicly listed entities.

Private Placement

We also pursue investment opportunities in SMEs that are not considering public listing. This approach allows us to provide crucial capital during early growth phases, supporting SMEs in their development journey.

Post-listing Investments

We continuously explore opportunities in SMEs after they’ve gone public. Our expertise helps us identify businesses with sustained growth potential in the public market.
