ABOUT OBSIDIAN


We are a Principal Investment firm, established in 2014 with one purpose - transform African lives by creating companies that deliver sustained, long-term beneficial impact.

We design locally specialised, globally competitive, large scale private-sector solutions to the infrastructure challenges of communities in middle Africa. Working with our partners, we utilise our own capital and raise all of the institutional funding required to deliver fully funded, long-term and sustainable infrastructure.

It is our mission to transform the infrastructure landscape of middle Africa - which is the fastest growing young population in the world - both in income and population. We are excited by the immense opportunities and challenges that we have encountered in meeting the needs of this population and are excited about the opportunities ahead.

While we are mainly focused on the area of renewable and sustainable power infrastructure. We also actively look for ways to enhance and advance Africa’s financial infrastructure to make investment in the region more attractive to regional and global institutional investors.

Using our own capital, we identify areas where private sector leadership is required, conceive businesses that can provide this leadership, bring together the high quality management that can develop these businesses, attract strategic partners that can help with scale and bring in the institutional investors who can provide the necessary long-term patient growth capital.
