Verdant Frontiers
We fight poverty by building large-scale, profitable, thriving businesses in Africa which empower workers, uplift communities and delight our investors.
Africa is not thriving like it could be:
Over $1 Trillion has been poured into the continent via aid over the past several decades.
75% of the world’s poorest countries are located in Africa
50% still live in extreme poverty (or less than $1.25 a day)
50% still don’t have electricity in the home. (6 countries have over 94% without electricity)
An industrial & economic revolution will bring a country out of poverty. Large-scale businesses create jobs that enable individuals and families to thrive. Business done right pumps money into local economies, enabling individuals to earn personal wealth. These individuals then invest in education, healthcare, and standard of living improvements for families. Together, the business and individuals create a virtuous cycle of economic development.
We invest early stage capital. We bring entrepreneurial expertise and technology. We launch new businesses creating jobs and planting seeds of entrepreneurship and innovation.
We’ve Already Made a Significant Impact:
Over 1,000 new jobs created
12,000 lives impacted (Calculated as fair wage incomes created times 4.5 dependents)
Over $75M invested to date in Verdant Frontiers’ portfolio companies
