Our Ventures
Did you know that Sub-Saharan Africa has the highest percentage of entrepreneurs in the world? We often look at Africa as a continent of problems only. But people’s potential is equal everywhere, only their opportunities are not.
We like to see the potential behind the poverty. And give people a little help to get off the ground and walk into brighter futures. And day in and day out we’re amazed by the number of genius ideas and the entrepreneurial spirit we meet in many African countries. So far, we have started working with a few partners in Ethiopia, Kenya, South Sudan, Uganda and Ghana, who are at varying stages of their development. Watch this space for more to come.
Innovative, eco-friendly business solutions contributing to social change
Social change and climate control can go hand in hand. We support the most innovative, sustainable ideas that won’t create new problems down the road.
Local technology serving local markets
We are convinced that those experiencing the problems are usually best-situated to solve them. Locally developed technology is most likely to meet local needs and easiest to maintain in the long run. In order to maximise the benefit for the local community, we focus on projects serving local consumers but also increase income throughout the value chain, sourcing from local suppliers and including local, especially rural distribution.
Scalable through our micro-franchise approach
The greatest need for investment is in underserved, unstable markets for businesses at the growth stage. When the concept has been proven by first success, but the risk is still too high for investors looking for reliable returns. We help businesses grow into a stable operations and scale and franchise their success to other regions and countries, thereby maximising impact wherever it is most needed.
