(CONSULTING)
Serious engagements for serious problems.
Advisory retainers and institutional mandates. For founders and operators who need more than a session — and know it.
Start with a diagnostic →(ENGAGEMENTS)
Two ways to engage.
ADVISORY RETAINER
Ongoing fractional strategic advisor. Monthly sessions, async access, and quarterly reviews. For founders who want a thinking partner, not a consultant who disappears after the deck.
INSTITUTIONAL MANDATE
Commissioned market-entry research and sustained intelligence for corporates, government programmes, DFIs and ecosystem projects. Ask for it by name: BRIEF.
(PROCESS)
Every engagement starts the same way.
Diagnostic
A 45-minute session to identify the real constraint. Book at /office-hours.
Proposal
Within 5 days, a scoped proposal: what we do, how long, what you leave with.
Engagement
We start. You get a strategic partner who has done this in African markets before.
(DIFFERENTIATION)
Why this is different.
Africa-native intelligence, not adapted frameworks.
- Built from 5 years of African market pattern recognition
- Client work across Lagos, Nairobi, Accra, Kigali
- Islamic finance, VC intelligence, and GTM strategy as integrated capabilities, not siloed services
Execution, not just advice.
- Every engagement ends with an executable plan, not a slide deck
- Every figure traced to a named source, with the gaps stated plainly
- Tech and AI builds available when the problem requires it
(FIT)
Who this is for.
African founders preparing to raise or scale to new markets
Foreign companies entering African markets who need local intelligence
Corporate and institutional clients building Africa strategies
Operators who have outgrown generic consulting and need Africa-specific expertise

(WHAT CLIENTS SAY)
From the field.
We came in thinking we had a product problem. The diagnostic session reframed it as a distribution problem — and the sprint gave us a go-to-market we could actually execute. We closed our first anchor client in Kigali three weeks after the engagement ended.
We had the funding and the ambition but we didn't understand the regulatory and distribution landscape across three markets. The retainer gave us a thinking partner who knew the terrain — not someone who had to learn Africa on our dime.
(COMMON QUESTIONS)
What founders usually ask
Start with a diagnostic.
45 minutes. One constraint identified. A clear next step. No commitment to a larger engagement required.
