Eighteen East Capital (Eighteen East) was born in 2014 out of the desire of its founders Thomas Venon and Dave Portmann to contribute to the growth of impact investing by applying their financial markets expertise, and their understanding of the challenges facing African development. They were joined in 2015 by Emmett Pearce who brought with him a successful track record in asset management, and established Eighteen East’s presence in London. Collectively they believed that a technically robust approach to the creation of market solutions could deliver real and lasting change.
