Africa’s Capital
Formation Platform
We build infrastructure that moves capital
into Africa’s most promising ventures.
Ideas are everywhere.
Let’s back them.
The Greenhouse approach
Africa doesn’t suffer from a shortage of ideas. It suffers from a shortage of capital infrastructure.
We exist to close that gap. Structured deal flow for investors. Institutional infrastructure for founders. Replicable ecosystem frameworks for governments and universities.
