Introduction

Welcome to the Africa Assets database! Our searchable online platform provides fundraising and investment information for roughly 200 active PE and VC funds targeting sub-Saharan Africa. Africa Assets data has been collected from press releases, third party news sources and through conversations with GPs, LPs and other industry stakeholders. It is constantly updated to reflect the latest market activity.

Data is currently organized on this website under three categories: Deals, Exits, and Funds, with a section dedicated to LP Activity coming soon.
