Investments

Trans National Group expanded its entrepreneurial reach in 1994 with the establishment of TN Ventures. This investment arm was conceived to leverage the company’s proprietary marketing expertise and investment acumen to help small businesses and entrepreneurs enhance the success of their direct marketing-based businesses while generating outsized returns for TN Ventures. ​

Over the years, TN Ventures has used its entrepreneurial skills and marketing knowledge to create and maintain profitable ownership positions in various direct marketing-related enterprises. This strategy has enabled TN Ventures to grow alongside these businesses, fostering a collaborative environment where both the company and its partners thrive.

Over the years, TN Ventures has grown into a comprehensive investment engine. Our strategy has involved significant investments in leading private funds across a range of sectors. These include venture capital, private growth equity, buyouts, private real estate, and hedge funds. We also focus on direct co-investments, investing alongside seasoned investment managers and partners including: Providence Equity, Bain Capital, TH Lee, Audax Group, JP Morgan, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, UBS/Credit Suisse.

In addition to its more traditional financial investments, TN Ventures, in conjunction with the Belkin Family, has  extended its investment focus to include the arts. Together, we have curated an impressive art portfolio, notable for its museum-quality pieces. The Belkin family's deep appreciation for beauty and art has been a source of enjoyment and inspiration for many art enthusiasts, showcasing timeless paintings, sculptures, and other distinguished pieces.

TN Ventures, aligned with Trans National’s and Steve Belkin’s philanthropic values, emphasizes investments that deliver both financial and societal returns. Our portfolio increasingly focuses on green technology and environmental impact funds, advancing energy innovation and sustainability across various industries.

Our goal is to modestly contribute to the global community's betterment by providing flexible financing solutions that facilitate growth while minimizing dilution, positioning us as a leading provider of growth capital in this vital sector.

Among our investments, the most fulfilling is our commitment to nurturing young entrepreneurs, echoing Steve Belkin’s journey over 50 years ago. Steve once said, "The true value of success is the opportunity it gives you to help others start their journey."

Through investment, advice, and mentorship, we replicate Steve's experience for a new generation of innovators, supporting their financial growth and fostering a culture of innovation.
