Who We Are

Niandan takes its name from the Niandan River, a tributary of the River Niger near Kissidougou in Guinea. Like the river, which originates in Guinea’s highlands, Niandan symbolizes the region’s untapped potential and resilience. At Niandan, our team is our greatest asset.

Founded with the belief that Guinea and other frontier markets in West Africa have an outsized role to play in the region’s economic growth, Niandan is dedicated to empowering local businesses and entrepreneurs. Our mission is to leverage best-in-class talent and international partnerships to support and scale enterprises that drive sustainable development.

We collaborate with global partners to attract capital, build businesses, and invest in impactful companies, combining financial returns with social and environmental benefits. Through Nimba Fund, we focus on investing in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and developing projects that create meaningful impact.

West Africa is our home, and we are committed to contributing to its growth in a way that benefits all communities. We believe in building a prosperous and inclusive future for the region, one investment at a time.

At Niandan, our people are our greatest strength. With a team of seasoned professionals primarily from West Africa, we bring extensive experience across investment, business development, and operations. From our base in Conakry, we have worked in diverse markets such as the United States, Europe, and throughout Africa, including Guinea, Côte d'Ivoire, Cameroon, and Kenya.
