Joint ventures and acquisitions
- Our role
- Joint-venture partner or acquirer
- Form
- JV or 100% acquisition
- Decided
- Case by case
Gateway Group has launched and sold 40+ brands in 15 countries since 1997. Where growth calls for it, TGC Capital Partners engages through a joint venture or a 100% acquisition, case by case. A joint venture pairs a founder or a partner company with Gateway Group teams in a new market or a new line of business. An acquisition brings a company into the group with the 6X Factors behind it. Each one is built as a win-win model for the people involved.
Where we engage
- Joint ventures that open a new market with Gateway Group’s offices in 15 countries behind them
- Joint ventures that pair a founder’s product with Gateway Group’s sales, engineering and back-office capacity
- Acquisitions of software and SaaS companies that grow faster inside the group than alone
What stays the same
The six factors are the same in every case: revenue capacity, engineering, capital, governance, leadership and a global network, as one programme. What changes is the stake and who carries the operational load. That is agreed in the workshops, with all decision-makers in the room.
How this fits
We engage in four ways. They share one principle: capacity before capital. The 6X Factors work as one programme under one agreement, and the result we measure is revenue. How we engage describes all four.
Other ways we engage
Start-up
We engage with experienced professionals to kickstart their entrepreneurial journey, as co-founders.
Scale-up growth
We act as a catalyst: a minority, non-controlling stake, sized on the recast plan.
Scale-up transformation
We take equal responsibility for the transformation: a fifty-fifty partnership with the founder, with Gateway Group sharing the operational load.
Next step: a two-hour workshop.
