Strategy

Our strategy focuses on creating long-term value by investing in high-potential businesses with strong local foundations and scalable models across Africa.

We primarily acquire majority stakes in high-growth, post-revenue platform companies with clear profitability paths and the ability to expand continent-wide through acquisitions or partnerships. Where majority control is unavailable, we pursue significant minority positions (20–40%) with governance rights and strategic influence. Selectively, we provide private credit or structured debt for expansion, working capital, or pre-equity growth phases. Additionally, we reserve ~10% of capital for sports tech and youth-focused startups with strong commercialization potential in fan engagement, talent development, and monetization.
