Serengeti Asset Management
Founded in 2007, Serengeti is an opportunistic value-driven investment firm focused on creative and flexible capital solutions to innovative private companies and their shareholders. We invest and build financing platforms for assets that are underserved or going through a fundamental transformation. Our capital solutions seek to address complex situations through structure and creativity. Serengeti opportunistically identifies assets that are, often times, difficult to source and underwrite. These assets are underserved by traditional capital providers, presenting an opportunity to build financing platforms at scale in unique asset classes. As an extension of the financing platforms, we are able to identify investments with compelling risk-adjusted returns in a variety of market conditions. Our expertise investing across the capital structure allows us to comfortably evaluate these opportunities across multiple sectors, asset classes and strategies, with a focus on special situations. The firm manages capital for institutional investors including pensions, endowments, and large family offices. Enthusiasm for complexity drives what we do.
