PASSIONATE
We have a heart for the African continent and the potential of its people to create a brighter future. We are unapologetically African, and recognise that the continent's uniqueness calls for a unique investment approach.
INVESTMENT CRITERIA
Seed & Venture Capital
LEADERSHIP
We partner aligned entrepreneurs with an oversized amount of integrity and energy. Management are required to have a strong understanding of how value is created in their business and display the capacity to navigate market forces going into the future.
COMMERCIAL
We invest in companies whose product or service we can understand, is demonstrably desirable and has been market tested. The business either needs to be post revenue for at least 12 months or have a evidenced pipeline to sustainable revenue generation.
SCALABLE
We invest behind companies operating in industries, sub-industries and geographies that provide tailwinds for growth. We back businesses that operate in markets that allow for critical mass and where a scalable business model exists or can be developed.
