Boutique corporate finance house - pioneering investment opportunities. We believe that alternative assets need to be part of a balanced portfolio.

Grovest prides itself on being the pioneers of 12J and launching the industry's first VCC in 2010. Although the sun has set on Section 12J, we remain the largest administrator of Section 12J VCCs, and have since expanded our expertise.

Our dynamic team of expert corporate financiers, financial analysts, marketing specialists, accountants, attorneys, fund managers, and compliance officers is led by Jeff Miller, a seasoned entrepreneur and true expert on all aspects relating alternative assets.

The Grovest team are proud to be pioneering innovation in alternative assets and look forward to working with you!
