Our Process
Learn about how we evaluate, invest in, and support entrepreneurs across Africa.
Initial Screening
We evaluate companies based on our core investment criteria: market opportunity, team capability, business model, financial performance, impact potential, and alignment with our thesis. Companies that pass our initial screen move to the next phase of our process.
Due Diligence
We conduct comprehensive due diligence, which includes extensive interviews with the management team, customers, partners, and industry experts. We also analyze the company's financial statements, business plan, competitive landscape, and regulatory environment.
Investment Decision
Our investment committee carefully reviews each opportunity and makes investment decisions based on the company's growth potential, impact alignment, and risk profile. We work collaboratively with entrepreneurs to structure deals that meet their capital needs while providing appropriate returns for our investors.
Post-Investment Support
After investing, we work closely with our portfolio companies to help them grow and scale. Our support includes strategic guidance, operational assistance, connections to our extensive network, and help with subsequent funding rounds. We believe in being active partners, not passive investors.
