Income-generating.
Venture-backed.
Operator-driven.
A Delaware-based investment manager deploying capital through two distinct vehicles — income-generating commodity and trade working-capital finance (SPV I) and conventional venture capital (SPV II) — grounded in 35+ years of direct operating experience across agricultural markets, the Gulf, and the United States. Two vehicles. One operator.
Operator-led.
Domain-driven.
Every investment thesis at InUSA Capital is built on physical market expertise — the kind that comes from three decades of structuring, negotiating, and executing commodity transactions across multiple continents.
Physical Commodity Roots
35+ years spanning agricultural commodity export, GCC market development, and cross-border trade finance. Every investment thesis emerges from operational experience, not financial engineering.
Institutional Structure
Delaware Series LLC, Reg D 506(b), ERA exemption, Bloomberg TEI registration. Clean separation between vehicles. Built for institutional-grade diligence from day one.
Cross-Border Network
Operating relationships spanning the GCC, South and Southeast Asia, and the United States — enabling deal flow and capital access across markets that most US managers cannot reach.
Clean Separation
Income / trade finance and venture capital are housed in two separate Delaware entities — SPV I (income) and SPV II (venture) — each with independent capital accounts, governance, and reporting. No commingling between mandates.
Two mandates.
One manager.
Each vehicle has a distinct legal structure, investor base, deal type, and return profile — cleanly separated under the InUSA Capital umbrella and available to qualifying accredited investors independently.
Commodity / Trade Working Capital / Income
A Delaware Series LLC running a single income strategy. SPV I deploys capital into short cash-cycle commodity, trade, and working-capital finance — purchase-order financing, accounts-receivable factoring, commodity-backed lending, short-term structured credit, and working-capital facilities — across 30–180 day transaction cycles, targeting recurring current income and capital preservation.

A Delaware Series LLC for select conventional investors. Series 1 offers single-deal fund-of-one structures — one company, one vehicle, full transparency. Series 2 provides sector-focused co-investments alongside established lead investors in agri-tech, food-tech, and trade finance technology.

Both vehicles are illiquid, private investment structures. Membership interests have no secondary market. SPV I (income / trade finance) and SPV II (venture capital) carry distinct risk profiles. Investors should only participate if they can sustain an illiquid commitment for the applicable vehicle term and understand counterparty, commodity, liquidity, venture, and regulatory risks.
