FAQ

Investing in women-led businesses, especially those owned by African and Diaspora women, is not just a socially responsible choice but also a strategically sound investment decision.

Correcting Historical Imbalances: Data shows that startups led by women and mixed-gender teams receive significantly less capital than male-led teams. This gap is even wider for African female founders. Our mission is to close this funding gap by providing the necessary capital to these underserved entrepreneurs.

Eliminating Barriers to Capital: Traditional early-stage funding avenues, such as ‘friends & family’ rounds, are often inaccessible to many African and Diaspora female founders. We offer essential launch capital to eliminate this substantial barrier, making entrepreneurship more inclusive.

Seeing Opportunity in Risk: Where other investors may perceive risk, we see potential. By backing female founders, particularly in challenging markets, we tap into undervalued opportunities that are ripe for growth and capable of delivering strong returns.

Revenue-Based Financing (RBF) is an investment strategy where capital is provided to a business in exchange for a percentage of its ongoing gross revenues. This model is particularly suited to businesses seeking flexible and growth-oriented funding solutions. Here’s how our RBF model benefits your business:

  • Fixed Return on Investment:The investment includes a predetermined cap on the total return, ensuring predictability for your financial planning.
  • Flexible Repayment Terms: Repayments are made as a percentage of your revenue, allowing them to fluctuate with your business’s performance. Unlike traditional loans, there are no fixed monthly payments or interest rates, offering greater flexibility during periods of low revenue.
  • Preservation of Control: Since repayment is tied to revenue, there’s no need for share sales or additional rounds of funding to manage investment repayment. This keeps the control of your business firmly in your hands.
  • Alignment of Interests : Our returns are directly tied to your success. When your business performs well, we benefit as well, creating a partnership rooted in shared goals and mutual financial growth.
  • Growth Without Pressure: This model allows you to focus on scaling your business without the added stress of meeting rigid repayment schedules. This approach aligns with your company’s natural revenue cycles, providing a funding solution that grows alongside your business.

Our RBF model is particularly supportive of women entrepreneurs. It ensures that as your business revenue increases, our equity is automatically redeemed. This way, the ownership and leadership structure of your company remain predominantly in your control.
