First West Capital

About The Fund

First West Capital, located at 610 - 1040 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6E 4H1, Canada, is a private equity fund with expertise in providing mezzanine financing solutions. The fund specializes in strategic financial initiatives such as expansion funding, management buyouts (MBO) or leveraged buyouts (LBO), recapitalizations, and assisting in ownership transitions. Historically, they have been involved in various industries including Artificial Intelligence (AI) & Big Data, Consumer sectors, and more. However, as per their strategic shift in focus, First West Capital is no longer offering subordinated debt, mezzanine financing, and/or minority equity financing. As part of First West Credit Union's broader operations, the firm has increased its emphasis on expanding its traditional commercial banking operations. For existing clients, they have committed to ensuring that ongoing needs are met, providing a point of contact for assistance. They are part of a larger organization that prioritizes corporate responsibility, diversity, equity, and inclusion. Their wider impact on members, the economy, and the community is part of their organizational drive, working under the governance of an executive team and a board of directors. Their 2023 Annual Report and numerous resources on corporate governance can be found in their media center, indicating transparency and dedication to stakeholders. Although First West Capital is not accepting new clients, the institution remains active in the credit union space and is moving towards becoming a federal credit union. This change reflects their evolving business model and focus on comprehensive community and member services.
