Our thesis

Africa has the world’s youngest and fastest growing workforce but today only contributes to 3% of global GDP.

The world is now more connected and it is possible to access economic opportunities from anywhere in the world thanks to rapidly expanding internet access. This represents a massive opportunity for Africa’s young and growing digital first population to lead the trillion dollar digital economy. We will increase Africa’s contribution to global GDP by investing in global businesses that will lead the digital economy and unlock a future where prosperity is within everyone’s reach.

Our Values

1

We lead with courage

We believe there is plenty of genius in the world. It is courage that is in short supply. We believe true leadership requires the courage to take bold actions and inspire others to follow in pursuit of a common goal.

2

We do hard things

Africa’s challenges are hard problems to solve. Easy solutions won’t cut it. We believe in taking the harder, more direct and more long term sustainable path to turning Africa’s biggest challenges into global business opportunities.

3

We help each other prosper

Building African prosperity requires a collective effort. At Future Africa our secret weapon is our global network of Future Africa Community members across government, business, venture capital and academia who build with us.
