Our Story
Built for the companies that don't fit the mould
TFN was founded in 2022 by a team with decades of experience in corporate finance, asset management, consultancy and banking. Across our careers we kept seeing the same pattern: promising companies were held back not because their technology failed, but because the way they needed to be financed did not match the way capital is organised.
Venture investors, lenders, corporates and public funders each look at a growing business through their own mandate. Companies building something genuinely new and capital-intensive sit between those mandates, and too often lose time and momentum trying to fit them.
We set up TFN to work on exactly that boundary: hands-on, alongside management teams and investors, bringing together the capital, structures and partners that no single investor is set up to provide on its own.
We began in the energy transition, where these challenges are especially acute. That experience now underpins our work across mobility, materials, energy and financial services, wherever transformative companies need to scale.
Our Objectives
What we set out to do
Accelerate the scale-up
Help companies with new, capital-intensive technologies reach commercial scale faster, with the right capital at each stage.
Make capital work together
Combine equity, debt, grants and public funding into structures where each party carries the risk it is best placed to hold.
Strengthen the ecosystem
Help investors and institutions build the instruments and programmes that let more good companies get funded.
Stay alongside our clients
Be a partner from the first conversation through to completion, and for the next stage after that.
How We Work
Four things that shape every mandate
Getting things done
We work side by side with our clients and stay focused on execution, not just advice.
Finance and strategy together
Corporate finance and strategy sit in one team, so the plan and its financing are built as one.
A networked approach
Relationships across the full range of capital providers, and trusted specialist advisers when a mandate needs them.
Experience with fresh eyes
Deep experience combined with fresh perspectives, digging deeper to find the way forward.
Our People
The team behind TFN
TFN’s team operates from London and Amsterdam and brings together decades of experience working on energy, finance, strategy and sustainability topics for top-tier names in asset management, consultancy and banking.
What sets us apart is getting things done. We work side by side with our clients, from the first conversation through to completion, and stay focused on execution rather than advice alone.
Alongside the core team, we work with a broad network of trusted advisers, often specialists in their fields, so every mandate has the right expertise around the table.
