Our Growth Capital team provides advisory, structuring, investing and funding for proven high-growth tech-enabled companies in the early stages of growth.
We follow a sponsor-led approach to investing, offering solutions and networking opportunities with our strategic partners who want to match their existing businesses, networks or skillsets with growth companies throughout sub-Saharan Africa. These partnerships can provide opportunities to leapfrog these high-growth companies to a point where they could become substantial enterprises and market leaders within their sectors.
We service entrepreneurial businesses that display:
- Early stage of growth
- Revenues that are growing rapidly (more than 20% growth yoy)
- A technology-enabled business i.e. technology platforms enable the business offering
- Positive cash flows, are profitable or are approaching profitability
- The business is scalable – a proven business model with recurring and predictable revenue streams
- Strong founders with a track record of delivering on their business plans
- A sustainable competitive advantage – the founders have built a leading position or are disrupting a particular sector or service
- Investment returns that are primarily a function of growth, not leverage
Our investment approach
We follow a sponsor-led and partnership approach to investing, by offering solutions and networking opportunities with strategic partners who want to match their existing businesses, networks or skillsets with growth companies.
The companies we invest in are not start-ups, but are entrepreneurial businesses in the early stages of growth, typically tech-enabled and scaling very fast. They are not yet large, established businesses that would qualify for private equity capital. We aim for minority stakes in the business and empower the founders to build and scale their own businesses.
Technology-enabled companies
We believe that technology is driving rapid evolution in the way business works, and we want to back and finance the evolution of technology-enabled businesses across various sectors.
A client-centric focus
Our client-centric approach ensures that we engage with and understand our clients and their vision, and then partner with them to accelerate the achievement of their goals for growth. We have a preference to be a long-term partner to entrepreneurs throughout the business evolution, as we are equipped to provide multiple rounds of financing through all growth stages.
We also have a strong emphasis on values and philosophy alignment. We invest to create shared value with our clients, and for society as a whole.
