We have been doing business now in East Africa in other ventures for some time and have come to believe the next big area for investments that will take off is East Africa.  Politics have settled down. Workers are motivated and universities are turning out solid graduates--and are improving.  The next big steps require capital and management.  China has played a key role and will continue to do so, but it is now time for infrastructure to be grown by a hard-working focused team willing to be on the ground in the rural locations where opportunities will burgeon.  

Our team leader, Paul Flynn, is half-Uganda and half Irish but has worked extensively in Kenya.  He is matched by our second managing director, Ryan Lanham, who brings over six years in a world-leading hedge fund as core experience of casting a cold eye on getting returns and growing businesses.

    Revenue

    Revenues will be driven by the success of our investments in paying infrastructure.  We intend to make debt, equity and partnership investments to grow returns and will target a 10-12% annual return for investors.
