Arif Bhalwani is an entrepreneur, investor, and philanthropist.

Arif Bhalwani is currently the CEO of Third Eye Capital (TEC), which he co-founded with one of Canada’s pioneers in asset-based lending, Dr. David G. Alexander.

Arif Bhalwani is the co-founder and CEO of Third Eye Capital (TEC), an alternative capital provider helping companies undergoing change or in transition gain access to the tailored capital they need to thrive. The Toronto-based company has been instrumental to the survival and growth of overlooked and unloved Canadian mid-market businesses since 2005.

TEC provides companies with a unique combination of customized financing and significant strategic and operational expertise so that they can benefit from both TEC’s resources and relationships.

TEC believes that promising, asset-rich companies should not be judged on their financial performance alone, and that a company’s most valuable assets often do not appear on the balance sheet. The firm helps businesses monetize hidden assets with financing that sees beyond numbers to find over-the-horizon potential and opportunities.

Arif Bhalwani understands that succeeding in business is hard, even when capital is available. Increasing sales, managing costs, and recruiting good people, while trying to innovate and stay ahead of the competition, can seem like impossible tasks. TEC offers access to capital, a breadth of knowledge and extensive networks to address these needs.

Arif Bhalwani is also the co-founder and director of the Bhalwani Family Charitable Foundation, which invests in human potential and works to improve the quality of life for children, immigrants, and marginalized communities.

The Foundation is the chief sponsor of the Bhalwani Familial Cancer Clinic and the Bhalwani Family Compassionate Care Fund at the Princess Margaret Hospital, which aim to improve access to genetic cancer screening and counselling for all Canadians.

The Foundation seeks out research programs and initiatives that are overlooked or underfunded, but that can impact local communities and the world in a meaningful way.
