We believe in the power of carbon-neutral economic development in Africa and as such are the leading experts and pioneer investors in the renewable sector on the continent. We build commercially successful businesses that can scale sustainably driven by the belief that it is the best approach to outsized climate and socio-economic impact in underserved African markets. Persistent invests financial capital and human resources through our venture building model focusing on ideation to early growth stage. We often second our team members (venture builders) to work in operational roles hand in hand with the management teams of our portfolio companies. In alignment with the needs of the portfolio companies our team typically focuses on strategic and operational finance management capital raising and structuring business analytics and development of KPI tools and legal and human capital advisory.
