Our Systematic Approach to Building Market-Defining Ventures
We focus on five high-leverage sectors where technology can unlock exponential value, building on Ghana's emerging digital and physical infrastructure.
Why Ghana, Why Now
Ghana represents a unique convergence of macro-economic tailwinds that make it the definitive hub for building scalable ventures. Our thesis is built on three foundational pillars:
- •Continental Trade Gateway: AfCFTA Secretariat in Accra positions Ghana as the commercial heart of unified African markets
- •World-Class Infrastructure: Tema Port's expansion creates the premier logistics hub for West Africa
- •Digital Payment Rails: Ghana Card and GhIPSS provide integrated foundation for digital-first products
The 90-Day Critical Gap
