    Investment criteria

    Local entrepreneurs and SMEs make a crucial contribution to local employment. To maximize their contribution to the progress of the regional economy, they need growth capital and support in strategy, planning, governance and reporting.

    We invest our capital, time, experience, knowledge, skills and network in:

    • Companies that are active in Africa and have a solid continuity perspective.
    • Companies that have passed the 'start-up' phase.
    • Companies that contribute to the growth of an inclusive economy.

    The requirements we set are:

    • Companies are active across the manufacturing, agri-processing, and technology sectors.
    • The minimum turnover is € 300,000
    • The company is at least cost-effective at the time of the investment
    • The investment is equity-based with a minimum stake of 20%
    • The investment per participation ranges from a minimum of € 500,000 to a maximum of € 1 million
    • The company has a positive, measurable and scalable impact on people and/or the region

    What we don't:

    • Companies in a distressed phase
    • Highly capital-intensive companies (e.g. infrastructure, real estate)
    • Companies with indirect impact (e.g. incubators, consultants)
    • Businesses that are largely dependent on government revenues
