We spent 2020 creating and piloting some of
the vehicles we shall be using to channel
capital (venture/early stage and credit). The
design of these vehicles reflects the challenges
associated with financial intermediation and
the need to grow a local financial ecosystem on
the African continent that draws on local
capital (retail, communal and institutional),
working with Foreign Direct Investments (FDI)
and public investment in a blended approach.
We believe that inevitably as African economies
become more stable and mature, there will be
more capital to deploy although this must be
done wisely and effectively to achieve the most
impact per unit of capital. This can be achieved
through appropriate selection of opportunities,
structuring the right vehicles to channel this
capital and leveraging technology to enable
this at scale.
