Profile
Secha Capital is a Black, female-founded growth capital impact firm based in Southern Africa. The firm invests in traditional industries that are transitioning to a tech-enabled, green economy. It focuses on early-stage and adolescent-stage small and growing businesses (SGBs/SMEs) in sectors such as fast-moving consumer goods, agribusiness, healthcare, light manufacturing, and business-enabling services.
Utilizing an Operator-Investor model, Secha Capital employs young, high-potential talent to work directly within portfolio companies, providing operational support and strategic guidance. This approach addresses the management gap in African SMEs and enhances both social and financial returns. Secha Capital has successfully raised funds to invest in established Southern African SMEs, creating jobs and significantly increasing revenue for its portfolio companies. The firm emphasizes long-term, patient capital and prioritizes investments in Black and female-founded businesses, promoting local talent development and social impact.
