Beyond Capital.

Helping African food firms flourish

We are a fund and business builder partnering with East African agri-food SMEs to 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 over 17 years of technical expertise backed by global food producers to catalyze Africa’s high potential food businesses.

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.
