WE TARGET BUSINESSES where positive social impact for underserved communities is a result of commercial success. We see the aspiring mass market in East Africa as a compelling opportunity.

WE LOOK FOR strong solutions to the challenges of underserved communities – either by the creation of jobs and opportunities for income generation or by the provision of new, affordable and highly needed products and services.

WE INVEST in early to mid-stage companies with proven impact and financial viability that are in the process of scaling their business model. We apply a gender lens to all our investments. We like to invest with more than capital and be active partners to the companies we invest in.
