Core Purpose
To unleash Africa’s agrifood potential.
Our Mission
To enable the transformation of the African agrifood value chain by identifying opportunities where innovative technology can positively impact the agrifood value chain. We partner with entrepreneurs who are building businesses that can unlock these opportunities and enable them by providing capital. We then work with them to build their businesses and expand across Africa while unlocking collaboration between our portfolio companies.
