This milestone marks a significant step forward in providing patient capital to high-growth light manufacturing, technology, and cleantech SMEs in critical sectors such as agribusiness (agro-processing), education, healthcare, financial services, and business services (including industrial and mining support).
The initial close of the fund was made possible by the unwavering support of distinguished local institutions that have chosen to invest in this transformative venture. Among the prominent investors are the Venture Capital Trust Fund (VCTF), PETRA, AXIS Pension Trust, Stanbic Investment Management Services, and several schemes under CAL Asset Management Limited.
