Mobility
Corporate finance and strategy for the companies changing how people and goods move.
The Challenge
New ways of moving need capital long before they earn it
Changing how people and goods move is one of the most capital-intensive shifts in the economy. A new aircraft or propulsion programme can need a decade of development and certification before its first revenue flight. A logistics network has to fund vehicles, hubs and technology ahead of the volumes that make it pay.
Each stage draws on a different kind of investor: venture and strategic capital for the technology, public programmes for development, and asset and infrastructure finance for fleets and networks. Few businesses fit neatly into any one of them, and the moves between stages are where financing most often stalls.
What We Do
From first institutional round to fleet-scale financing
TFN works alongside founders, boards and investors in mobility, combining corporate finance and strategy. We build the funding roadmap, run equity and debt processes, structure financing at asset and project level, and advise on the partnerships and transactions that shape a company's next stage.
Our Focus Areas
Two areas where we work most closely
Aerospace
Hydrogen-electric and hydrogen-combustion aircraft, the propulsion systems behind them and the infrastructure to fuel them. Long certification timelines and large development budgets mean these programmes have to combine venture and strategic capital with public funding, and later with asset finance.
Mobility & Logistics
Urban delivery networks, low-carbon shipping and the platforms that connect them. These businesses scale through physical networks, so growth capital has to be matched with financing for the vehicles, vessels, hubs and equipment they run on.
