Investment Strategy
Nimba Fund seeks to address the “Missing Middle,” investing in formalized companies with a clear growth plan and a high-performing Management Team/Founder. The Fund invests a combination of equity and quasi-equity instruments.
The Fund will consider investments at any size, assuming the company demonstrates a clear ability to deliver on the Fund’s return and impact objectives. To achieve this, we seek opportunities that fit the following themes:
Active support of early stage ventures and greenfield development initiatives with high-skill founders and a clear growth trajectory.
Scaling and established SMEs with a project-capital need.
Late-stage growth ventures seeking defined exit opportunities, supported by our co-investor network and advisory arm.
The Fund is sector agnostic, but has set a priority on the following areas:
Renewable Energy: Investments aimed at increasing energy access and reducing carbon emissions
Sustainable agriculture: Investments in agricultural that promote sustainable practices and enhance food security
Infrastructure: Development and improvement of critical infrastructure, particularly in underserved regions
Affordable housing: Investments that provide access to safe, affordable housing for lower-income populations
