About Us:
We have raised millions of dollars for social enterprises in Africa. We believe that capitalism is one of the most powerful tools ever invented and we want to use capitalism for good. Right now it's quite challenging for entrepreneurs with great businesses to raise capital; We aim to make an entrepreneur's search for capital as easy as finding an Airbnb by 2040.
Culture:
We have a wear whatever you want culture (T-shirt and jeans if that's what you want). Work wherever, though we have simple office north of Westlands you can use. Get the job done and be fun to work with. We debate whether aliens likely exist, if climate change is overstated and generally try to avoid dogmas that get in the way of raising money for companies.
There is potential for growth to become a partner in our firm one day if that is of interest to you.
