Investor sourcing
Connecting the right projects with the right investors: we identify and qualify projects that fit your mandate, and prepare files before the first meeting.
Talk to usInvestors do not lack opportunities, they lack well-prepared files
The investors we interviewed in 2026 all say the same: they receive many projects, but rarely with structure, reliable data and a clearly identified buyer or market. Due diligence across the 17 OHADA states also requires real command of local law.
AfriCand acts as your relay on the ground: we identify opportunities that match your thesis, qualify them on sponsor, market and governance, and only present files that are ready to be studied.
