Approach Overview
SpringHill targets equity investments in locally-managed, scalable, sustainable businesses that offer both attractive financial returns to investors and measurable social benefit to the community.
We will back entrepreneurs who are leading role-model enterprises - companies that are:
- Creating unique value for customers through differentiated, innovative and complex products and/or services
- Generating a sustainable profit for owners commensurate with the risks taken by investing in them
- Engaging and investing in their workers through training and education, safe working conditions, and high and rising salaries
- Protecting the future by operating in ways that strengthen the community and environment.
We focus on the “missing middle” - small and medium sized business - in Africa. We aim to provide $1 to $3 million of expansion capital to businesses with a clear business model and a strong growth prospects. We will supplement our investment of financial capital with on-the-ground managerial support, knowledge and networks to help portfolio companies achieve the potential we all see.
