Private Equity & Venture Capital Committee
Patient Capital for African Makers
The Private Equity & Venture Capital Committee of Make in Africa works to widen access to capital for African producers through private equity, venture capital and sound capital markets. Its members bring investment experience from across the continent’s fast-changing financial markets, spotting companies with untapped potential. The committee also presses for fairly priced long-term finance and guarantees from partner economies, because the way risk is priced too often keeps processing offshore.
