While Africa has contributed to only ~3% of global emissions, the region is likely to be most impacted by the global climate crisis.
But we can boost economic growth in Africa today and reduce emissions tomorrow by scaling Africa’s green ventures.
Africa’s fast adoption of technology and youthful population create the opportunity to leapfrog legacy industries. We believe that the future lies in the hands of those who build practical, inclusive solutions. We’re here for them. If it's you, please jump to the contact page.
We invest in innovative, fast-growing, local ventures that generate social and financial returns. We're looking for climate-friendly ventures with solutions to everyday needs:
How we power up our lives.
How we get around.
What we want, wear, and waste.
Where we live and work.
What we literally live off.
How we're planning for tomorrow.
How we work
We invest in early-stage ventures operating in Sub-Saharan Africa. We mainly invest in Seed to Pre-Series A, but have been known to make impactful exceptions. While we’ve got a range of instruments on the shelf, we prefer convertibles and equity.
As investors, we’re pragmatic – we believe in practical, systemic solutions that drive tangible results.
We go beyond providing capital. Our support begins at investment, engaging with founders and co-investors to develop measurable action plans and define key milestones. We provide support to achieve these milestones across key areas:
Supporting founders to build financial systems that drive growth.
Working with founders to define a measurable impact thesis and tell a good story.
Supporting founders on their fundraising journey.
Helping founders and teams grow.
