AlphaTalents Africa
AlphaTalents Africa is a purpose-driven investment company supporting the creation and growth of profitable, sustainable and impact-centric agribusiness ecosystems in Africa. Our primary goal is to invest patient capital in companies that will help advance the pan-African agribusiness industry to the next level. The raison d’être of AlphaTalents Africa is to offer a much-needed alternative to the traditional equity investment model that is clearly not working as far as the African agribusiness sector is concerned. By bringing patient capital to the table, we seek to unlock the potential of this strategic sector with a holistic approach to agri-stakeholders that creates measurable and sustainable value across the human, social, environmental, and financial pillars of our investment model. Those four core pillars of value creation are the basis of AlphaTalents Africa’s performance measurement. Moreover, AlphaTalents Africa invests through a multi-dimensional lens straddling early to growth stage businesses across a network of interconnected industries. True to our firmly rooted conviction that agribusiness cannot thrive in a vacuum, we allocate up to 25% of the capital we invest towards such ancillary industries as education, energy, healthcare, logistics, technology and financial services that, in varying degrees, affect the agribusiness value chain. Finally, we have a supporting yet proactive approach with our investee companies, with senior food industry and investment experts at management, investment committee, and advisory levels bringing to the table an in-depth understanding of the long investment lifecycle needed to realise the sector’s true potential.
