Two Pillars, One Mission

We operate at the intersection of global commodities trade and strategic finance, delivering institutional-grade execution with the agility founders and traders need.

Commodities Brokerage

We facilitate cross-border trade in energy, agricultural products, and base metals, connecting verified producers with institutional buyers, managing counterparty risk, and ensuring ESG compliance throughout the supply chain.

Strategic Advisory

From fundraising strategy and due diligence to debt structuring and M&A support, we serve as fractional strategic finance partners for startups, scale-ups, and family offices navigating complex capital decisions.

Global Trade, Responsibly Sourced

We broker physical commodities transactions with a focus on verified provenance, ESG compliance, and institutional-grade documentation. Our network spans producers, refiners, traders, and end-buyers across four continents.

Energy and Petroleum

Crude oil, refined products, LNG, and biofuels. We facilitate spot and term contracts with verified refineries and trading houses, ensuring regulatory compliance across jurisdictions.

Base and Precious Metals

Copper, aluminum, zinc, gold, and silver. We connect mining operations and refiners with industrial buyers and financial institutions, with full chain-of-custody documentation.

Agricultural Products

Grains, oilseeds, sugar, coffee, and cocoa. We work with cooperatives, agribusinesses, and commodity traders to move product from origin to destination with transparent pricing.

ESG-First Approach

Every transaction we broker undergoes rigorous ESG screening. We verify supplier certifications, audit environmental practices, assess labor conditions, and ensure full regulatory compliance. Our clients, whether trading houses, industrials, or institutional investors, get peace of mind that their commodity flows meet the highest standards of responsible sourcing.

We serve as fractional strategic finance partners for startups, scale-ups, and family offices, bringing the rigour of institutional investing to founder-stage companies.
