About TGC Capital Partners
Your Growth Engineering Partner.
The strategic investment arm of Gateway Group of Companies, a software engineering company since 1997. We Engineer Growth to deliver one Measurable Outcome: Revenue.
TGC Capital Partners is the strategic investment arm of the Gateway Group of Companies. Gateway has built software since 1997. TGC brings the group’s teams, its method and its capital into a scale-up as one programme, under one agreement. The result we measure is revenue.
We work with post-revenue founders across Europe, North America and India, wherever our teams are on the ground. Their first need is revenue, then guidance, then strategic technology. We bring six things, the 6X Factors, and we invest in the programme we deliver, together with the founder’s lead investor.
Capital matters, but it comes after capacity.
Not a capital deployment vehicle
We invest only when execution leverage is clear: when the six factors can be put to work inside the plan.
- Capital without operators. The money arrives, the capacity does not, and the plan slips.risk
- Operators without capital. The capability is there, the runway is not.slow
- TGC Capital Partners combines both.predictable scale
TGC Capital is not a VC, a PE fund or a venture studio. We do not only provide capital, and we do not create companies. We work with existing founders and put our teams inside their company. See how we engage and the founder FAQ.
What we believe
- Capacity before capital.A scale-up rarely stalls for lack of money alone. It stalls when it cannot turn money into revenue capacity, engineering capacity and governance at the right cost. We put the capacity in place first and size the capital on the plan recast with the programme inside it.
- Founders keep control.We invest as a minority partner without control. Strategy, culture and operations stay with the founder. From day 1, we find the best fit from our leadership teams and network to support the founder, so the founder never faces the big decisions alone.
- Revenue is the outcome we measure.We do not promise it. Revenue also depends on product, pricing, strategy and demand. What we commit to is the capacity, the method and the people that make it the measure of every programme.
- The 6X Factors are one programme.Revenue Engineering, Software Engineering & Tech Excellence, Smart Growth Capital, Governance & Back Office, Strategic Mentorship & Global Network and Founder Leverage work as one programme under one agreement, with one team working as yours. Nobody in the existing team is replaced; growth capacity is what we add.
