Direct access
Deal by deal

The strongest private companies rarely open. When they do, Doberman structures real entry: a dedicated single asset vehicle, a verified path to the security, one decision at a time.

What we are

A private markets firm for investors who want specific companies, clean structures and a documented path to the underlying security.

01 / Mandate

Direct opportunities in category-defining private technology companies.

Late-stage and pre-IPO companies with established category leadership, strong institutional backing and limited availability in the private market.

01

Direct sourcing

From the company, an existing shareholder or a lead investor. Never through broker chains.

02

Single-layer ownership

The path to the underlying security is identifiable and documented.

03

Deal-by-deal discretion

No blind pool. You choose each company, each time.

04

Concentrated mandate

Artificial intelligence · Compute, energy and AI infrastructure · Financial infrastructure · Defense, space and robotics · Applied science and health.

Network

Our network combines experience building, operating and investing across artificial intelligence, financial infrastructure, healthcare and national security. The same five sectors appear in our mandate because they are the only ones we work in.

That operating perspective helps us evaluate opportunities beyond the transaction itself and establish direct relationships with founders, shareholders and existing investors.

02 / Execution

Built for institutional diligence.

Terms vary by company and jurisdiction. The standard does not: verified source, documented structure, independent decision.

01

Origination

Source, relationship and transaction path are established before any investor conversation.

02

Verification

Share class, transfer restrictions, pricing and closing conditions are reviewed with counsel.

03

Vehicle formation

A dedicated vehicle with independent legal, administration, banking and KYC.

04

Closing and reporting

Subscription under definitive documents. Vehicle-level reporting and tax documentation follow.

03 / Private access

Live opportunities stay off this website.

Names, pricing and documentation are shared after qualification, and only where the opportunity fits your mandate.

Opportunity memorandum

Company context, transaction rationale, key risks and diligence materials.

Structure and economics

Jurisdiction, ownership chain, fees, carry and closing timetable.

Subscription materials

Definitive documents, eligibility requirements, KYC and closing instructions.

All opportunities are offered privately, deal by deal, to qualified professional and institutional investors through dedicated single-asset vehicles. No general solicitation is made through this website.

Doberman is not a marketplace. We do not run listings, order books or open platforms. Volume is not the objective. Each transaction is one company, one vehicle and one verified path to the security, done properly.

For institutional investors, fund managers, family offices and other professional investors.

04 / Investors

Built around how serious allocators actually invest.

Family offices, external asset managers, funds and institutions in Europe, Asia, the Gulf and Africa use Doberman to enter US and European technology companies they cannot reach directly.

Structured to your requirements

Vehicle jurisdiction, reporting cadence, tax documentation and governance are determined for each transaction with specialist legal, administrative and banking support.

Sized for institutional commitments

A documented process for allocation, diligence, subscription and closing, designed to support meaningful capital commitments.

Built for long-term ownership

Transparent structures, identifiable ownership chains and vehicle-level reporting designed for long-duration private market investments.

For institutional, professional and other eligible investors, subject to applicable law, investor qualification, minimum commitment and KYC requirements.

05 / Firm

Technology operators with a transaction-led approach.

Doberman is a private-markets investment platform focused on direct late-stage, pre-IPO and select secondary opportunities.

The firm is deliberately small. We combine operating experience, longstanding relationships and disciplined execution, bringing in specialist legal, administration, banking and compliance providers for each transaction.

Hartej Singh Sawhney

Founder & Principal

Hartej Singh Sawhney founded Doberman after more than a decade building and backing technology businesses.

He co-founded Zokyo, a cybersecurity company specializing in blockchain protocols, cryptography and digital-asset infrastructure, and built Zuldi, a mobile point-of-sale payments platform.

He is also the co-founder and CEO of KYI Labs, which develops autonomy software for unmanned systems.

His operating experience and longstanding relationships with founders, shareholders and private investors underpin Doberman's direct, relationship-led approach.

KYI Labs is a separate operating company. Any transaction where the two could intersect is disclosed to investors in the definitive documents.

Marina Galchenko

Operations & Execution

Marina Galchenko oversees operations and transaction execution at Doberman.

She coordinates each transaction from initial diligence and investor communications through vehicle formation, closing and post-investment administration.

Marina works with external counsel, administrators, banking partners and investors to keep each transaction organized, documented and on schedule.

Doberman operates with a small internal team and a transaction-specific external infrastructure. Legal counsel, vehicle administrators, banking partners and compliance providers are selected according to the requirements of each opportunity and jurisdiction.

06 / Contact

Introduce your mandate.

Your organization, your role, where you invest and what you need from a counterparty.

If you are evaluating access to a specific late-stage company, seeking secondary exposure, or want to be considered when the next vehicle forms, reach out directly. Every conversation is handled personally by the principals.

Doberman also convenes a small number of private gatherings each year: founder dinners, allocator roundtables and technology briefings held alongside the occasions the industry already travels for, from Formula 1 weekends and the World Economic Forum to Milken, SuperReturn and the leading family office summits. Much of the firm's earliest visibility on forthcoming transactions begins in those rooms. The form is the way in.
