OUR APPROACH
Investing at the intersection of Africa’s private sector growth
Renew Capital sits at the intersection of change. We’re leveraging global interest in impact investing, international development’s shift toward blended finance, and the rise of the African entrepreneur to accelerate the growth of Africa’s private sectors.
A critical gap in Africa’s capital markets
Africa’s small and medium enterprises are geared for growth, but stuck in the “missing middle” where there is little capital or management available.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
We believe Africa’s private sector is the future
We believe economic growth solves many of the challenges people in developing countries face and should be where we focus.
We believe businesses are engines of development. Dollar-for-dollar, investing will create a greater sustainable impact than charity.
We believe many African businesses can be attractive investments. If investors have a clear path to invest in them, they will.
We believe it is time for the world to change its development strategy and begin investing in Africa.
We believe you should do well by doing good. Working together, investors and entrepreneurs will ignite change.
OUR MODEL
An investment model to grow African businesses
