Private Markets

Invest and manage balance sheet and third-party capital in African private companies. We seek to maximise US Dollar returns to our investors by being active and engaged with our portfolio companies as genuine partners. We also bring the benefits of the FWA and Imara networks as well as our experience of investing across the continent for decades.

Venture Capital:
Specialising in the dynamic African technology sector, favouring scalable venture opportunities that deliver both exceptional returns and enabling financial and social inclusion.

Access to these opportunities is proprietary and solely a function of Imara’s relationships and networks. Companies are post-revenue, breakeven, with robust scalable business models, and highly experienced management teams well known to us.

Growth Capital:
A deal-by-deal strategy targeting mid-cap private companies in East and Southern Africa, across all sectors. We favour high growth businesses requiring US$3m to US$20m of capital in exchange for at least a significant minority equity stake, plus board representation.

The FWA founders have raised over US$80m in debt and equity for African SMEs as part of our partnership since 2012.
