Capria is an investment firm investing in and supporting early-stage fund managers and start-ups in the Global South. They work closely with fund managers across all aspects of building an enduring, world-class investment firm, invest in their funds, and co-invest alongside them where there are opportunities to fund companies on the cusp of growth and scale.
Capria is committed to seeing a thriving ecosystem for African small and medium enterprises and is focused on providing the capital to enable this on a commercial basis. Small Foundation has supported Capria’s activities in the sub-Saharan African early-stage investment space since 2018.
Our partnership and learning:
“Small Foundation’s support has allowed us to begin building out a local team in Africa that leads efforts in investing in our partner local fund managers and tech companies that are delivering essential products and services, resulting in greater impact per dollar invested and a higher resilience to economic downturns.”
Through Capria, Small Foundation has seen how vital it is to identify the right KPIs and growth metrics for fund managers and companies to have a clear sense of the commercial health of their businesses. Capria has also learnt the importance of walking through impact with portfolio companies to embed where impact comes from and to understand how impact data can add business value.”
