BUILDING A MORE JUST, SUSTAINABLE FUTURE FOR AFRICA AND THE WORLD
We are serial optimists - it’s in our blood.
Our team reflects the persistent optimism of the African people. We have a natural desire to uplift others and a willingness to lend a hand no questions asked. We are relentlessly curious about what's possible, quick to learn and iterate, and passionate about a brighter future.
We believe in the power of innovation to create widespread change. While the climate crisis may not have been caused by Africa, it can be solved by us. African leadership in the fight against climate change will be the catalyst that propels our economies and societies to a brighter, more just future for every African.
We are entrepreneurs first and always.
We know what it means to be an entrepreneur because we have been (and still are) entrepreneurs. We know that true entrepreneurship is about creating positive systemic change, and are here to build African communities dedicated to solving the most important existential threat faced by humankind. The opportunity in Africa is a story of resources and talent that have always been there and that are now taking shape. We will not back companies that want to extract from or deplete our communities or impose ideologies that do not benefit us.
We like to get our hands dirty. We are hands on, dedicated partners who believe that African entrepreneurs represent our best champions for a sustainable future. We are inspired by our rich heritage that shows that prosperity is won by the work of a community living in harmony with nature and each other.
We know that diversity is good business.
We work with founders who know that a gender-balanced, diverse, and locally relevant business will innovate better than their competitors. Women are an untapped potential in Africa, and companies built by the people who know, live, and breathe Africa's diverse cultures will deliver superior returns. Our community reflects this vibrant diversity.
Building a truly diverse team is hard. That’s why we spend so much energy being in the places that others can’t or won’t reach. We take on some of the heavy lifting so that our founders can both do the right thing for their communities and meet the urgency of the climate crisis.
Join African leaders in the fight against climate change.
Climate change is happening now. This is the biggest challenge, and opportunity, of our time. If our work and values resonate with you, we’d love to talk.
