Our Services

For a limited set of companies, we help them grow from an idea into a business. This service is primarily geared towards tech startups, but can also be offered to other startups located in Greater Accra or Abidjan where we have a physical presence.
Capital Readiness Consulting
Sometimes founders need help with becoming investment-ready. We help them prepare financial statements, organize accounting and business data, automate workflows, do pitch preparation & more. If you need to raise capital but you need some help getting prepared, this service is for you.
Seed Funding
For companies that need a little boost at the beginning of their journey, we provide that boost by providing seed funding.

We help real estate developers raise capital to fund their developments. In conjunction with one of our portfolio companies, Complete Housing, we can also provide the full scope of real estate development services including design conceptualization, architecture, engineering, quantity surveying, and construction and project management.
