Venture Capitalists supercharging innovation to address climate and income inequality challenges
We enable today’s entrepreneurs to become tomorrow’s heroes by amplifying their ventures to fight climate change and create ground-breaking impact.
Our commitment is to Sub-Saharan Africa (and the world)
We've been investing in and running businesses in SSA for decades. We've made money (and lost money.) We understand the nuances and the challenges. And we are driven by the opportunities and potential.
We harness the energy of tech and innovation for change
We exist to identify and accelerate needle-moving technology and business model innovation that will deliver real growth, real returns and real impact.
Energy. Agriculture. Mobility
Whilst we focus on these critical sectors that are ripe for innovation and scale, we also have a penchant for exploring innovation at their intersections and boundaries.
We don’t wait for tomorrow’s challenges
Our deep in-market presence allows us to forecast trends, debate topics, and develop theses in our signature curious style. Our unique domain knowledge drives clear convictions. Our job is to be one step ahead.
We broker global knowledge for disruptive solutions
We connect dots, build bridges (and enjoy talking in metaphors). And for decades we have been doing this with technology, knowledge, capital and people. Our universe of minds is forever expanding and our access reaches far, far across the globe.
We are more than just money
Techies, operators, entrepreneurs, investors, innovators, vision builders, problem solvers, catalysts in the fight against climate change. We are all of the above, and we leverage this to get stuck in and engage with needle-moving ideas and people in an active and hands-on way.
We power up the game-changers
We exist to support the impatient darers and partner with the mission-driven entrepreneurs who have big ambitions and the resilience to achieve them. They are the ones who will make a lasting difference and we hope to join them on their journeys.
From ripples, we make waves
The ventures we back have already been seeded and our role is to energise them with capital and active support to propel them from the Seed or Series A stages to the Growth stages. We can invest $1 million to $6 million, starting in early rounds and following-on in later rounds.
A brighter future for all
As a collective, we build valuable companies that will make our investees, our customers, our communities, our partners, our investors, and the world at large, proud. As a rule, we build a brighter future for all.
