Our Approach

How We Drive Change

We exist because African women founders are building the health, nutrition, and livelihood solutions their communities need but less than 2% of startup funding reaches them.

Invest in overlooked women founders

Equip them with hands‑on support and trusted networks

Shift the systems that hold them back

When these three steps align, women‑led ventures grow, create jobs, improve health outcomes, and inspire others to follow, building a healthier, more prosperous Africa.

A Gender‑Smart, Evergreen, 
Founder‑First Investment Model

Gender‑Smart Investing

We deliberately seek out African women founders in sectors critical to community well‑being; health, nutrition, and livelihoods. We look beyond biased risk perceptions and design terms that keep women in control of their businesses.

Evergreen for Lasting Impact

We don’t charge management fees. Every return is reinvested into our evergreen endowment, multiplying impact year after year.

Founder‑First Capital

Revenue‑based financing, low‑interest loans, and SAFE agreements, structured to protect founder ownership and tailored to the realities of African markets.
