We Believe in More Founder Ownership

At Samfield Capital, we believe founders should keep more of what they build. Too often, access to growth capital comes at the cost of ownership, control, or unsustainable debt. Our mission is to change that.

Samfield Capital is a founder-first investment firm. Our mission is to help ambitious businesses grow faster, smarter, and with more ownership. Unlike traditional capital, we provide long-term, debt-first financing, take minimal equity (3–5%), and offer hands-on guidance—so founders retain control while scaling their ventures.

Through Samfield Capital Fund I, we invest in high-potential companies with defensible advantages, proven leadership, and scalable business models. Our fund focuses on global opportunities, with a strong preference for Africa, providing both strategic support and growth capital.

Our founding story


We’ve spent decades building businesses, helping teams scale from $2M to $10M+ ARR, advising startups through to Fortune 500s, and leading a $100M AUM family office in Los Angeles.



Through it all, our guiding principle has always been the same: to build businesses that help our family thrive, teach and impart entrepreneurship as a gift to our kids, empower our employees, and create opportunities for everyone around us to grow and succeed. Every decision we’ve made has been with the intent that our success lifts others—our families, our teams, and our communities.



Today, together, we lead Samfield Capital with the same purpose and passion. Our mission is to help members scale their businesses, build lasting wealth, and ensure that their growth benefits not just themselves, but their families, their teams, and everyone in their circle.
