The African startups and entrepreneur segment is growing. It benefits from the growth of the continent and the support of its governments. This creates a vast amount of investment opportunities that are not directly accessible for most investors. GreenTec Capital Partners is a long-term investor that joins forces with startups from the proof of concept stage onwards and SMEs. Hereby we target under the radar companies with a sustainable business model to create exclusive investment opportunities with economic, social and/or environmental impact in Africa. Our team of experts joins the operational team of each companies and focuses on improving the respective operational activities to foster the chance of a sustainable success. We fund and/or facilitate access to adequate funding opportunities that are fitting each company’s individual stage of evolution (development / expansion / growth). Instead of straining the cash positions, we favors “work for equity” deals to build up a dynamic portfolio and create economic value for our partners. Since we are looking for long-term investment and business partners, we expect our portfolio companies’ strategies to fit into our own strategy.
Our know-how allows us to structure our own fund vehicle with professional partners in order to provide a diversified solution to specific investors. Therefore we structure a portfolio of early stage investments and continuously build a track record (target investment time >3 years) to make it attractive for external parties. Once the portfolio reaches a certain size, our target is to re-structure it into a more liquid investment vehicle (e.g.: Fund). This will bring advantages to our portfolio companies (access to new liquidity) and GreenTec Capital Partners.
