Our Focus Sectors

Investing in companies serving the growing African consumer

We concentrate on four high-growth sectors forming the backbone of East African economies.

African agribusiness farming

Agribusiness

We invest across the full agricultural value chain from agri-inputs and processing to commodity trading and support services. Africa's food systems are transforming rapidly, and we back the businesses accelerating that change.

African manufacturing factory

Manufacturing

We back manufacturing businesses that add value through local processing, production, or assembly turning raw materials and components into finished or semi-finished goods that serve regional and local demand.

African logistics trucks transport

Logistics

We invest in logistics and distribution businesses that transport, store, and deliver goods across East Africa. As e-commerce and consumer demand grows, efficient supply chains are the invisible infrastructure of a thriving economy.

African trade market commerce

Trade

We invest in trading companies that buy and sell goods to businesses and consumers across East Africa. From cross-border commodity traders to domestic distributors, we support commerce that moves markets.
