INVESTMENT PROFILE

GreenTec Capital Partners invests in African start-ups and SMEs with a focus on
combining social and environmental impact with financial success. We use
capacity building, process optimization and a diverse team of international
experts to help them implement and adapt the latest technologies to their models
so they can extend their value chains and have more impact locally.

 * Investment Criteria

TRANSFORMATIVE VENTURE BUILDING

Jointly, we seek to transform innovative local businesses with a
proof-of-concept into successful and sustainable enterprises that have growth
perspective in Africa and beyond. We do more than just invest: We provide
custom-tailored operational support to transform companies and help them create
the additional added value necessary to bridge funding gaps and early crucial
phases.

CO-INVESTMENT

Our risk-curating approach enables investors and strategic partners to safely
participate in the value-creating transformation of companies at different
stages with various risk profiles while doing good. Most of our portfolio
companies have already received investment and several award. In 2017, we were
awarded the German Development Award by the Carl Duisberg Gesellschaft (CDG) and
the German Federal Ministry of Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ).

SECTOR FOCUS

We invest into three broad categories that are positioned for growth connected
with the rapidly increasing young African population. We focus on solutions,
products, and services with Pan-African expansion potential, high impact, and
strong returns.

Agriculture

By 2030 we expect the size of the African agriculture market to reach 1 trillion
US-Dollars.

Sustainable Resources

Sustainable resources are essential to meet the growing demographic needs of
Africa.

Digitalization

Digitalization will be the driver for a sustainable transformation across
various sectors.

We are looking to support entrepreneurs operating in Africa who are positioned
to grow their businesses and need additional capacity, expertise, technology and
funding in order to extend their impact and add value.
 * Operations in Sub-Saharan Africa
 * Focus on Impact and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
 * Early stage companies with proof of concept

We rank investment attractiveness through a proprietary country scoring model
based on certain public domain criteria.
 * Proof of Concept
 * Scalability Potential
 * Management Team
 * Environmental and Social Impact
 * Profitability Potential
 * Long-term Commitment and Strategy

×

PROOF OF CONCEPT

Proof of concept means for us more than just “the technology is running.” In
particular it has to be proven, that the business model is economically
profitable. This need not necessarily be proven by the partner, but could also
be proven by already existing business models. For example, looking at a company
that has a running solar technology similar to “Mobisol” with some added value,
we consider this running technology in combination with the success of Mobisol
in making it profitable and finding investors as proof of concept. As for the
technology part, we make sure together with our partners (e.g. Engineers Without
Borders) that the technology is properly working and suitable for the target
market.
×

SCALABILITY POTENTIAL

Our focus is to find business models with huge scaling potential. Not just in
the countries of their origin, but throughout the African continent. Existing
issues to be solved are very similar in a lot of African countries. As a
consequence there is a lot of potential to replicate successful business models.
With our expertise and the local partners, we can customize the models to the
needs of the different markets.
×

MANAGEMENT TEAM

We are looking for African entrepreneurs, who have experience in foreign
countries (e.g. a degree in Europe or the US) and who understand both cultural
contexts well. It is important that these individuals have on the one hand a
good network and understanding of the local African market and the problem they
want to solve, but on the other hand are open to knowledge transfer and advice
from developed countries (i.e. from GreenTec Capital) in order to enable us to
work jointly and improve business models. This way we avoid potential efficiency
losses. European companies that want to access African markets need to show a
strong technological advantage (e.g. have a solution that works especially well
in the African environment or provides a cheaper solution than existing ones
with appropriate quality) and they have to be open minded with regards to
knowledge transfer and working with other cultures. Companies that insist on the
same processes they have implemented in Europe, will not succeed in developing
countries.
×

ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL IMPACT

It is our strong conviction, that impactful projects will have sustainable
success. Therefore, important KPI’s for us are to create social or environmental
impact and to empower the local population. This impact can be direct (e.g.
creating jobs, reduce CO2 emissions, enable access to clean water via
technologies) but also indirect (e.g. ITC solutions that improve the access to
information or offer additional revenue potential for end-users or
knowledge-transfer).
×

PROFITABILITY POTENTIAL

We do not expect that the companies already earn “millions,” but the profit
potential has to already be visible with a clear plan. We also look for “lean”
companies, with very low cash burn rates, so that they can easily survive
several months, in the case that revenues/investments are delayed.
×

LONG-TERM COMMITMENT AND STRATEGY

Because we are looking for long-term investors and business partners, we expect
our portfolio companies’ strategies to fit into our own. Our know-how allows us
to structure our own fund vehicle with professional partners in order to provide
a diversified solution for investors.


INNOVATIONS TOUCHING LIVES

 * Boreal Light
 * Farmcrowdy

A resident from Shimoni, on the Kenyan mailand, unloads a 20L water jug to
purchased from one of Boreal Light’s Water Kiosk on Wasini Island.

Two-thirds of Sub-Saharan Africa’s land mass is arid or semiarid and more than
300 million of the 800 million people living there suffer from severe water
shortages with less than 1000m3 of water per year per person. This water
scarcity exists, not from a physical lack of water, but rather that the
investments in water resources and relevant human capacity are not substantial
enough to meet the existing demand for clean water for drinking and agricultural
purposes. Across Sub-Saharan Africa millions of people are forced to collect
water from easily contaminable surface or rain water sources or to travel long
distances to purchase water of equally questionable quality. Boreal Light’s
Water Kiosks can produce clean and hygienic water from brackish or sea-water
sources, solving these problems of water access and scarcity.
Boreal Light’s first Water Kiosk was installed on Wasini Island, which lies near
the Tanzanian border. Prior to Boreal Light commencing operations on the island,
locals were forced to import water at high cost by boat from Mombasa, or to rely
on intermittently available rainwater collection. Since the kiosk’s introduction
it has provided 3 permanent jobs and 2 part-time jobs, in addition to 5,000
liters of desalinated water daily for the island’s residents.
Now the situation has changed: recently, with two kiosks installed on Wasini
Island, the islander no longer need to rely upon rainwater or expensive water
imported from Mombasa. And not just the islanders are benefiting. People have
been coming from the Kenyan mainland to purchase water from the kiosks on the
island. The accompanying image shows a young man unloading a 20L bottle of
Boreal Light’s Water on the shore at Shimoni village on the Kenyan mainland. Now
people come to Wasini for clean water.

 

Women outgrowers using Farmcrowdy’s platform.

Nigeria has the highest farm output in Africa and is among the world’s top-ten
highest producing agricultural economies. Approximately one third of Nigeria’s
workforce is employed in the agricultural sector and close to 87% of its
population engage in agriculture as an economic activity. Despite the high
output, Nigeria struggles to meet its own subsistence needs and relies upon
imports to satisfy demand. Nigeria’s agricultural sector suffers extremely low
productivity, due to reliance upon age-old farming techniques and farmers’
limited access to financing. Only 2.5% of Nigeria’s smallholder farmers have
access to financing or credit, limiting their ability to expand or improve their
farms. Even farmers who can access credit are limited by problems of timely loan
disbursement and very high interest rates. Farmcrowdy addresses farmers’ access
to finance through an innovative agricultural platform that partners farmers
with sponsors to mutual benefit, providing an alternate source of finance to
improve their farms.
One of Farmcrowdy’s outgrowers is Patience Arthur-Akpan. She is 23 years old and
lives in the Onna Local Government Area in Akwa Ibom State in Souther Nigeria.
As an aspiring university student, financial hardship and family obligations
forced her to give up her studies and work with her family on their farm.
Through working with Farmcrowdy, Patience was able to earn enough to save up for
school fees and return to her studies in Sociology at the University of Uyo, in
Akwa Ibom State.
