Conviction Capital: Why Africa, Why Now?

Investing in Africa takes more than capital—it demands conviction and a willingness to challenge outdated narratives that overlook the continent’s complexity and potential.

History favors first movers—those who recognize inflection points before they’re obvious. Today, Africa presents that moment:

A youthful, fast-growing population driving consumption and innovation
Tech leapfrogging legacy infrastructure
Resilient venture activity and rising local investor participation
The AfCFTA opening up unified markets
Economic growth, improving governance, and policy support for entrepreneurship
Growing alignment between impact and alpha
