Trinity Capital Inc. (NASDAQ: TRIN) announced that its sponsored investment fund, Trinity Capital SBIC LP, received approval from the U.S. Small Business Administration to operate as a Small Business Investment Company.

The approval marks the company's third sponsored investment fund to receive an SBIC license since Trinity Capital's inception in 2008. The company previously deployed $734 million through SBICs via predecessor funds.

"We are grateful for the trust and support of our investors – and for the approval of our license application from the SBA, with whom we have a successful history of deploying capital to growing businesses across the United States," said Kyle Brown, the company's Chief Executive Officer.

As an SBIC, the fund is eligible for up to $175 million of SBA-guaranteed debentures at a two-to-one debt-to-investor commitments ratio. This structure could result in a potential total fund size of $262.5 million if the target $87.5 million fundraise is achieved.

Trinity Capital is an alternative asset manager focused on private credit markets. The company operates across five lending verticals: Tech Lending, Life Sciences, Equipment Finance, Asset Based Lending, and Sponsor Finance. Since inception in 2008, Trinity Capital has deployed more than $5.5 billion across over 463 investments as of December 31, 2025.

The company is headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, with teams located across the United States and Europe. The information is based on a company press release statement.
