It was a pleasure to join one of the panels on the insightful webinar hosted by MiDA Advisors and Standard Bank Group to discuss a critical topic, “Invest in Africa- The time is now” where I discussed Aruwa’s gender lens investment strategy and its trickle-down effect on gender diversity across the value chain of businesses we invest in. I also emphasized our focus on investments in proven businesses that are at a pivotal point of their growth and how Aruwa is providing the much-needed growth capital to help them scale up. The panel expertly moderated by Thembi Matabiswana, Senior Consultant at Riscurra, included other trailblazing fund managers across the continent- Jesmane Boggenpoel, Co-founder & Managing Partner- AIH Capital, and Sheila Kyarisiima, Partner – NISK Capital.
