Beyond Capital.

Helping African food firms flourish

We are an impact fund and business builder investing in East African agri-food SMEs, supporting them to grow and scale – profitably and sustainably.

We are experts in food. We support agri-food SMEs with a sector-specific package that goes far beyond mere financing – including local, deep technical expertise, and strategic market connections to solve food-specific business challenges.

We deliver this in partnership with Partners in Food Solutions – tapping into > 17 years of technical expertise backed by global food producers.

To flourish is to thrive with purpose and energy. Our goal is to catalyse the business of post-farm agri-food SMEs to grow and scale – thereby generating economic returns and broad social impact.

• Creating jobs, especially for women and youth
• Availability of locally produced, nutritious foods
• Securing consistent off-take for smallholder farmers
• Reducing food waste and boosting climate resilience

Our Impact

Africa’s food systems face growing pressure from climate change, population growth, inefficiencies, and food waste – making food security a critical challenge. Yet, the agri-food sector holds immense untapped potential.

We partner with agri-food SMEs – key connectors between smallholder farmers and consumers – to scale sustainable, local food production. By strengthening food processing and reducing waste, we unlock economic and social value across the value chain.
