$30M PE Fund · West Africa · Secondary & Growth Equity
Vertis Capital is a $30M private equity fund focused on investing in the foundational infrastructure layers of West Africa's economy.
Our investment thesis is rooted in five critical sectors: food & agtech, financial inclusion, energy, trade & logistics, and healthcare. We integrate Islamic finance frameworks and gender-lens investing principles.
Our investment framework integrates structural market advantages, values-aligned financing, and proprietary technology to generate superior risk-adjusted returns.
We target businesses that form the essential backbone of West African economies — food systems, financial rails, energy networks.
Gender lens is our primary source of alpha. Women-led and women-serving businesses in West Africa are systematically undervalued — a persistence market inefficiency we actively exploit.
We deploy a broad toolkit calibrated: equity, mezzanine, and alternative structures (revenue-based financing, leasing). We incorporate Islamic finance instruments.
Climate risk is financial risk. Our process embeds resilience scoring. We prioritize portfolio companies with climate-smart operations.
Vertis Capital operates on Numa AI — a proprietary investment orchestration system for African PE: real-time intelligence and automated LP reporting.
