Valkin Family Office Ventures into High-Yield Debt Investments



TLDR:

Key Points:

  • Valkin family office specializes in venture debt plays for mid-sized companies.
  • They focus on companies with established track records and revenue above $1 million.

The Valkin family office, based in Singapore, targets venture debt plays for mid-sized companies looking for steady capital infusion to expand operations and fuel growth. They employ a rigorous vetting process focusing on companies with an established track record and revenue above USD 1 million. The family office looks for businesses that have been in operation for over two years and primarily invests in companies based in developed markets with a strong legal framework and open banking system.

While venture debt can be potentially lucrative, it also comes with risks. The Valkin Group has a 90% rejection rate, assessing company risk and evaluating the company’s ability to sustain operations and repay debt. They prioritize companies with profit margins above 30% and focus on sustainable growth rather than hyper-growth. The family office is also focusing on responsible investments, with a pool of funds specifically for sustainable businesses.

Valkin employs technology for ongoing monitoring, using a smart underwriting tool to analyze banking data, profit and loss accounts, and balance sheets of investee companies. By integrating with companies’ e-commerce channels and accounting data, they aim to marry financial returns with impact investing, especially in global trade. The family has invested in a flagship portfolio company focusing on supply chain, planning an IPO in 2026.
