SkaFld.Capital

Back it or buy it.

Deals, acquisitions and impact investing

Capital backs or buys. It covers deals, acquisitions, developments and impact investing. Impact is a thesis filter on a deal, held to the same value standard as any other. We advise our investment network and invest SkaFld's own capital alongside it.

Talk to usHow the Synthetic Balance Sheet works

The decisions SkaFld.Capital takes

SkaFld.Capital decides on the Synthetic Balance Sheet, the one standard every division uses.

  • Whether to invest, and on what terms.
  • Whether to acquire a company or a site.
  • Whether a development pencils.
  • Whether a deal fits an impact thesis.
  • How much risk investors keep, and how much is covered.

Home to 3 products

  • SkaFld VC

    Available

    The dashboard for investors, capital networks and entrepreneurs: signals, deal flow, diligence, syndicates and portfolio in one place. Now includes what was SkaFld Diligence.

  • SkaFld Site

    In development

    From a listing link to a go or no-go, then permits, trade partners, budget, draws and inspections in one place, shared with the city.

    Construction work is done with licensed partners who hold the contractor license. SkaFld Site shows estimates, not an appraisal or investment advice, and does not act as a broker.

  • SkaFld Cover

    In development

    Puts insurance, liability and potential claims on the Synthetic Balance Sheet, then shapes each deal so the risk kept fits what investors can carry.

    Coverage is placed through licensed insurance partners who hold the license. SkaFld does not sell insurance itself. SkaFld Cover shows estimates, not insurance advice.

One gate, four divisions

Each division is named by how it captures value. The gate routes every initiative to exactly one of them, and SkaFld Scout finds opportunities for all four.

SkaFld Scout finds the opportunities

The shared front door for all four divisions. Every opportunity is scored on the Synthetic Balance Sheet, and the gate routes it to exactly one division.
