Invest in Africa

Kinjani partners with investors to raise Africa and her people, up and to the right.

We help you Capture the Massive Climate Opportunity in Sub-Saharan Africa,

and help founders access the right types of capital for scaling.

Problem 1:

Climate Investments are Missing the Emission Drivers Target

Within ClimateTech Venture Capital, only 16% of emissions is receiving 61% of the funding globally, and in Africa, it’s even less.

Problem 2:

There’s limited support in Africa focusing on the Atoms

Electrons, or digital startups can only take us so far. Kinjani is not afraid to do the hard things. Our team is made up of engineers and scientists, and we’re focusing on real world positive climate impact.

Kinjani’s Approach

Back new Generation of African Climate Entrepreneurs

Kinjani invests into technical talent from Sub-Saharan Africa, giving them the skills, networks, science and engineering support, and commercial co-founders needed to build scalable climate businesses.

Kinjani’s Focus is on

  • Understanding entrenched industrial problems in Africa

    Investing into scalable enterprises driving industrial decarbonisation and climate science breakthroughs requires a deep understanding of the existing industrial problems, in a local context.

  • Supporting a New Generation of Climate Talent

    Kinjani supports local science-driven entrepreneurs with the skills, networks, science and engineering support, and commercial co-founders needed to build scalable climate businesses.

  • Providing the Right Type of Capital to Innovative Ventures

    Current investment models in Africa are failing, and Africa’s venture ecosystem is not encouraging innovations towards this massive opportunity.

The Kinjani (Ad)Venture Builder

The nature of this talent accelerator is different. Our structure, the network, the type of industries all point to one thing: science-driven entrepreneurs building scalable (and profitable) impact businesses in under funded focus areas. 

Africa is Rising

Here is why Africa is the next investment frontier:

Africa’s land mass is huge. It is larger than China, India, US and Europe combined.

Africa will be home to majority of the world’s megacities.

Add a rapidly growing population set to reach 2.5 Billion by 2050 - 25% of the world’s population.

What makes Africa unique is that 60% of the African population is under the age of 35.

There is a large economy growing.

Kinjani is built for Africa.
