Investing with Purpose. Creating Communities with Impact.

Optifund, part of the Optiwise Group, is a venture capital and private lending partner dedicated to projects that deliver more than financial returns. We back initiatives that provide affordable homes, support local businesses, and strengthen the unique character of the communities in which they are built.

Our Mission

We believe capital should create opportunities for people and places to thrive. That means:

  • Expanding affordable and mixed-income housing

  • Driving SME growth and local employment creation

  • Delivering community infrastructure and social impact projects

  • Preserving the identity, culture and resilience of each community

Every investment is designed to achieve a dual return: sustainable financial performance and lasting social value.

Our Approach

Optifund offers flexible finance from venture capital investment to private lending, tailored to the needs of projects that align with our purpose.

What makes us different is our community-first mindset. We partner with developers, councils, and community organisations to co-design outcomes that reflect local priorities. Each proposal is measured not only for financial strength but also for its contribution to housing affordability, job creation, and community wellbeing.

Focus Areas

  • Affordable Housing – Projects that increase access to secure and inclusive housing.

  • Local Business Growth – Investment in SMEs that generate employment and vital community services.

  • Community Spaces & Infrastructure – Initiatives that build connections and strengthen social cohesion.

  • Place-Based Renewal – Developments that celebrate and preserve the unique character of local areas.

Why Choose Optifund?

  • Impact-driven investment: We measure success by both community outcomes and financial performance.

  • Flexible structures: From debt to equity, we adapt capital to fit the project.

  • Partnership focus: We work alongside communities, not over them.

  • Transparent outcomes: Clear reporting and accountability at every stage.
