About phillips synergy
Phillips Synergy is a boutique capital advisory firm founded in Cape Town, built on alignment, selectivity, and trust. We create structured relationships between investors and founders, ensuring clarity of intent, thoughtful engagement, discretion, and long term partnership at every stage.
Phillips Synergy acts as a disciplined filter between private capital and private companies. Our mandate is to evaluate opportunities carefully, reduce friction in introductions, and ensure capital is deployed with intention rather than momentum.
We approach each engagement with responsibility to both sides. Investors receive opportunities that reflect their strategy and risk profile, while founders engage only when timing, readiness, and expectations are aligned. The result is fewer conversations, higher quality outcomes, and relationships designed to last.
Our Mandate
Our founder

Founder & CEO
Phillips Synergy was founded by Pieter-Ben Phillips, who began his career in business development and quickly learned how investors evaluate opportunities, assess risk, and identify strategic fit. That experience shaped his disciplined approach to capital advisory and his focus on alignment, clarity, and long-term value.
Today, Pieter-Ben remains directly involved in every relationship. He ensures introductions are thoughtful, opportunities are well-prepared, and both investors and founders benefit from a process that is disciplined, supportive, and outcome-focused.
