As the economic significance of Africa's tech startup sector continues to grow exponentially, so do the opportunities for foreign capital and international investors to access profitable investments. However, bottlenecks exist throughout the full investment lifecycle; from gaining access to verifiable high quality deals, to post-transaction support and ongoing portfolio management, and local experitise in bringing these investments to maturity.
We support global investors who want to invest in Africa but don't know where or how to start. We provide them with data-driven, transparent deals backed by local professional investors with track records, and a seasoned asset management team that ensures funds can be safely invested into Africa's best startups.
Our data driven curation process which identifies promising startups is designed to build and grow relationships with local stakeholders. Our exit management strategy starts right after the acquisition transaction is complete until exit through active management of the venture relationship. See our management track below.
We help our clients invest in technology-enabled product and service solutions with pan-African potential, strong returns, and high impact. We focus on two primary categories which are 'Essentials' (Solutions vital to human life) and "Platforms" (Solutions digitising value chain interactions).We support investment in all African countries with a focus on Cote d’Ivoire, Senegal, Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, and Egypt.
Building Trust
The success of any business is largely due to the leadership and change-makers behind them. Our team meets regularly with our portfolio founders and their startup leadership teams to help assess their progress, and identify emerging opportunities and threats to success, ensuring they are on track developmentally as well as operationally.
Market Insight
We have a wide network of local innovation hubs (i.e. incubators, accelerators etc.) across the continent that routinely identify the most promising investment prospects from available local talent through their programs. We have a proprietary method we use to identify the best local investors on the continent and track the progress of their early stage investments through subsequent investment rounds by other investors. We then negotiate deal space for our clients in those subsequent rounds and when they invest, we offer an active portfolio management service that provides timely progress reports on returns prospects with an exit outlook.
For our clients, I focus on four key elements: People, Market, Technology, and Execution. This allows us to curate great investment opportunities.
