IMPACT OUTLOOK
ABOUT US
We believe that small and medium-sized enterprises are vital to the health and stability of all nations. We have seen first-hand that providing access to risk capital and business assistance can facilitate the growth of these enterprises while accelerating the development of their surrounding communities.
WHAT WE DO
We help entrepreneurs running Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) to scale up their operations by injecting equity and providing technical assistance.
The SMEs need to have enterprise value and a track record before we can commence doing business with them.
