Investment platform · Secondary & Growth · Climate focus
Vertis Capital is an investment platform financing the backbone of West Africa's economy — from private equity and venture capital to infrastructure, B2B real estate and Islamic finance — with a climate focus.
Our investment thesis is rooted in five critical sectors: food & agtech, financial inclusion, energy, trade & logistics, and healthcare. We also integrate gender-lens investing principles.
Our investment framework integrates structural market advantages, values-aligned financing, and proprietary technology to build resilient, climate-aware portfolios.
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.
Beyond equity and mezzanine, we deploy liquid, short-cycle instruments: ijara (Islamic leasing), invoice factoring and working-capital financing.
Climate risk is financial risk. Climate is the common thread across everything we finance: our process embeds resilience scoring and we prioritize climate-smart operations.
Vertis Capital operates on Numa AI — a proprietary investment orchestration system for African PE: real-time intelligence and automated LP reporting.
