PARTNERS

AEFL seeks to bring the venture capital concept to the peoples of Africa. Sweeping liberalisation in key sectors has attracted foreign direct investments all across the African continent. To further facilitate foreign investment and to also enhance local investment so as to further wealth creation amongst Africans, AEFL aims to serve as a facilitating link between investors, technical partners and the peoples of Africa.
Facilitation will take place through two methodologies:

Acting as a funding source. Inquiries from management teams and principals are welcome. AEFL also recognises the valuable role of intermediaries in origination and developing attractive investment opportunities. Confidentiality will be respected and AEFL may consider funding customary fees for valuable investment banking and intermediary services leading to complete transactions. AEFL is also interested in partnering with other investment groups.

• Acting as an investment catalyst. AEFL management and advisors will identify investment opportunities and put into gear their technical resources and financial resources to conceptualise projects. AEFL wishes to nurture promising next-generation industries and companies. As a partnership of financial, technical and management experts, the people behind AEFL understand how to turn a great vision into a business, and a business into a success. AEFL believes in supporting entrepreneurs who have a unique insight into the dynamics of their market. AEFL specifically plans to be early investors in some of the most promising mobile networks, energy generation and mining enterprises across Africa.
• AEFL understands that there is a lot more to successful venture capital than gut instincts and money. It believes it has a better-rounded definition of the word "investment." Entrepreneurs will choose to partner with AEFL because AEFL financial commitments are always bundled with its widely acclaimed expertise, outstanding network of resources and proven track record - all working together for maximum impact.
