MSMEs
The missing middle: too large for microfinance, too early or too small for institutional capital.

Capital · Ventures · Technology
An integrated advisory house connecting global capital to African opportunity, across the United States, Sub-Saharan Africa and the Gulf.
THE CORRIDOR
Headquarters in Atlanta. Governance, institutional standards and US investor access.
Origination, diligence and operations on the ground.
Strategic, sovereign and family capital seeking African exposure.
THE PROBLEM WE SOLVE
Africa has never lacked opportunity. It has lacked the architecture to finance it.
The missing middle: too large for microfinance, too early or too small for institutional capital.
Established companies that cannot obtain financing because of thin data, short track records or inconsistent reporting.
Large energy, minerals and digital projects with real demand that are deemed unbankable as structured.
Why capital stays away
Opacity
Assets are hard to see and harder to underwrite.
Fragmentation
Fifty-four jurisdictions, currencies and regimes.
Intermediation
Layers of cost that dilute accountability.
