TI Capital

What TI Capital does

TI Capital Management LLC is a privately held, multi-strategy investment firm founded in 1997 by Ziad Ghandour and headquartered in Los Angeles. The firm deploys capital across venture capital, growth equity, private credit, special situations, real estate, and infrastructure, with operational offices in Los Angeles, New York, Dubai, and Seoul, and portfolio exposure spanning North America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia-Pacific.

Its four operating pillars are: (1) Direct Investments in technology, mobility, fintech, consumer, and energy companies (e.g., Greyparrot, Open Influence, Tonies, Wine.com, Paddle); (2) Private Capital Partnerships via GP, LP, and co-invest vehicles with financial sponsors including Capra Ibex Advisors and Qbit Capital; (3) Hemispheres, a wholly owned real estate subsidiary developing residential, multi-family, commercial, and hospitality properties across the Western US and Hawaii; and (4) Infrastructure, with active ownership, revitalization, and operations roles across LNG terminals, pipelines, ports (including Tartous Port in Syria), energy storage, telecommunications, refineries, and mining.

Revenue is generated through returns on invested capital, management fees, carried interest from sponsor partnerships, and operating income from Hemispheres real estate activities. The firm serves growth-stage companies seeking capital and strategic support, real estate developers and operators, infrastructure project sponsors, and financial sponsors seeking co-investment access. Leadership includes Founder and Principal Ziad Ghandour, COO/CTO Aref Mikati, and CIO Jordan Plemmons (ex-J.P. Morgan). The business model is relationship-driven and principal-led rather than fund-manager-led, with no publicly disclosed AUM, fee structure, or external LP base.
