About Us
Investment One Vencap Limited (“Vencap’) was set up in 2016 as the SME focused subsidiary of Investment One Financial Services Limited. Vencap invests cash in SMEs and more importantly provides essential business support to all investee companies – from the date of investment until financial exit.
Our typical investment horizon is 3-5 years and during this period we work together with our investee companies to help them achieve their potential. Ultimately, we succeed when our investee companies succeed and become GDP contributors.
