We believe in the power of the marginal.
In a world obsessed with the immediate, we look for the enduring. Our capital is patient, our conviction is absolute, and our network is clandestine.
The greatest breakthroughs often arrive disguised as toys or curiosities. We provide the soil for these seeds to grow into cathedrals of industry.
Our Theory
We believe that deep technology has the power to reshape industries and create a more prosperous future for Africa. Our investment thesis is built on three core pillars.
- Thesis-Driven Investing
- We invest in companies that align with our core theses about the future of technology and its impact on the world.
- Long-Term Partnerships
- We are long-term partners, not just investors. We provide our portfolio companies with the support they need to succeed.
- Technology-First Approach
- We believe that technology is the key to solving some of the world's most pressing problems. We invest in companies that are developing groundbreaking technologies.
Our Edge
