Trinity Capital
Growth capital that helps innovative companies scale while preserving founder ownership.
Our role: Investor, and a close relationship with the company's leadership
Type: International alternative asset manager (NASDAQ: TRIN)
Focus: Private credit and venture debt for growth-stage companies
Trinity Capital is an international alternative asset manager that provides investors access to the private credit market while providing growth-stage companies the capital they need to scale. It sources, vets, and invests in dynamic, privately funded companies across distinct verticals — technology lending, equipment financing, healthcare and life sciences, sponsor finance, and asset-based lending. We are an investor in Trinity Capital, a relationship deepened by a genuine friendship with its leadership.
Why We're Here
Trinity's founder-first model is one we've championed across our portfolio. It has become the partner of choice for venture-backed companies seeking an experienced ally to strengthen their financial position while preserving equity and offering non-dilutive growth capital as an alternative to giving away ownership round after round. That is the same conviction that runs through our thinking on alternative funding: capital should help entrepreneurs build and keep what they create, not steadily erode their stake in it.
The relationship is also personal. Trinity's CEO, Kyle Brown, is a friend of Access Ventures and a past guest on our More Than Profit podcast, where he talked about seeing opportunity in chaos and building a company around what Trinity calls "uncommon care." His conviction that you have to "care about people as much or more than you care about the deal" is exactly the kind of leadership we want to stand alongside.
What Trinity Does
Trinity provides a broad array of financial solutions (loans, equipment financing, and asset-based lending) tailored to each company's stage in its growth lifecycle, delivered by dedicated teams with deep, vertical-specific expertise. Its investors span pension plans, endowments, family offices, and financial advisors who value stable, consistent, income-oriented returns from private credit.
By its most recent reporting (through March 31, 2026), Trinity has delivered:
$5.7 billion in total fundings since inception
$2.9 billion in assets under management
470 investments in growth-stage companies
Trinity is a publicly traded business development company (NASDAQ: TRIN) that has earned an investment-grade issuer rating (Moody's Baa3) and built a long track record of stable-to-growing shareholder dividends.
Why It Matters To Us
Trinity Capital brings together two things we prize: a disciplined, income-generating private-credit strategy, and a founder-first philosophy that helps innovative companies grow without surrendering ownership. Backing a firm led by people we trust, who lead with "uncommon care," is one-pocket investing at its most natural, returns and relationship, held together.
