Investments
Innovative financial solutions that address the nuances of African creative industries
Our beginnings were founded in the astute recognition that hybrid models and working capital solutions play a vital role in meeting the needs for creative businesses to forge ahead and flourish. We took on the challenge to pioneer innovative financial models tailored to the unique needs of Africa’s creative industries.
