VestedWorld

There are innovative, exciting companies that are poised for growth in emerging markets. However, these companies lack access to the capital required to fuel their growth. VestedWorld is a venture capital fund focused on investing in those companies. The three primary countries that we invest in are Ghana, Kenya, and Nigeria. We also consider opportunities in four secondary countries: Ethiopia, Rwanda, Tanzania, and Uganda. We focus on three sectors that we view as essential to the growth of any developing country: Agribusinesses, Consumer Products, and Technology-enabled businesses. We believe that we can have a profound impact on the development of the economies where we invest and the people that our portfolio companies employ. We also deliver competitive, risk-adjusted returns to our investors.
