ABOUT US
The Capital Quest is a subscription-driven digital platform that tracks the flow of capital from alternative investors to startups as well as mature companies in the emerging economies of Asia and Africa.
The Capital Quest covers private equity and venture capital investments and exits, strategic mergers and acquisitions, and capital market transactions. It also writes about people movement and policy issues that affect private investments.
The news platform caters to not just alternative investment firms but also to bankers, lawyers, entrepreneurs, analysts, researchers, regulators and policymakers.
Business verticals
The company also aims to create a connected ecosystem for dealmakers by conducting corporate events and executive training programmes.
The corporate events would connect investors with companies, and PE/VC fund managers with Limited Partners and fund-of-funds. The aim is to initiate dialogues and exchange ideas among participants of different countries.
The training programmes would be conducted in association with professional subject-matter experts, with an aim to equip the participants with real-world nuances of dealmaking and how to tackle such complexities.
In addition, we provide content as a service. The CaaS vertical caters especially to financial services companies that outsource content writing and editing to freelancers.
The Capital Quest has been founded by the team that scaled up India’s first curated, subscription-driven digital financial news platform focused on private investments.
The core team has a cumulative reporting and editing experience of around 65 years, having covered PE, VC and capital market deals as well as regulators and government departments across financial services, energy and infrastructure sectors.
