about us.
HelX (Pronounced “Hee-lix”) is a firm driven by the prospect of bridging the gap between a passionate business owner seeking growth capital and capital allocators looking for exciting investment opportunities. The true inspiration for HelX was seeing how many businesses couldn’t find the right investment partners and instead relinquished significant equity or paid exorbitant fees to corporate firms with little or no success.
At Helx, you won’t find a team looking to disrupt the investment banking landscape with corporate jargon and complicated structures, but rather a business seeking to simplify this landscape for business owners and prioritize the following key aspects:
- Open doors to the correct debt or equity investors.
- Translate an idea or business opportunity into an attractive proposition, that speaks the language of the people writing the cheques needed to unlock the opportunity.
- Support you through the entire process to ensure you maximize the potential outcome.
Specializing in businesses with an enterprise value below R300m, Helx looks for hungry founders or business owners who believe in their business and are interested in getting real value through the capital raising or sell-side process.
