Our funds
TheNextFund impact thesis
A five times multiplier comes from blending philanthropic first loss, embedded technical assistance, recycled repayments and commercial returns inside one instrument.
Catalytic de risking
Philanthropic and catalytic capital absorbs the first layer of loss, letting commercial investors price African SME risk with confidence and finally enter the missing middle.
Embedded capability
Every ticket carries technical assistance in governance, finance, compliance and market access, turning informal enterprises into bankable, investable businesses.
Recycled capital
Structured repayments never leave the ecosystem. They recycle into the next cohort, compounding jobs, revenue growth and investor returns cohort after cohort.
Disciplined returns
Impact is measured with the same rigour as financial performance, with a target net return of 2X to 3X over a six year tenor.
Ennovate operates a unified ecosystem of platforms that makes capital more efficient, transparent and productive.
Ennovate Ventures
The operator ecosystem behind the firm. A decade of accelerators, founder programmes and enterprise support that gives every fund proprietary deal flow and underwriting insight no distant allocator can replicate.
Capability and impact facility
Technical assistance, catalytic grants and donor capital operating alongside the funds, strengthening enterprises before, during and after investment so capital performs.
