Our focus is on high-growth, emerging market opportunities in South Africa and the rest of Sub-Saharan Africa.
We have partnered with companies that are at the forefront of digital disruption as well as founder-run or family-owned businesses that have been refining their offering for decades. What unifies the companies we invest in is the commitment of their management teams to growing companies that last.
We seek exposure to regional and global growth prospects through regional expansion strategies within our portfolio companies, as well as direct investments selectively into other countries.
For an attractive risk-adjusted return, we blend our investment types (growth equity, buy-and-build, buyouts) and risk/return profiles (high growth opportunities with more defensive industries) and deploy world-class structuring practices to tap upside whilst protecting downside.
Our investment focus is framed by investment “themes” within which we spotlight specific sectors:
IoT / Tech / ICT
Schools / Edutech
AI / Big Data / Predictive Analytics
Health & Wellness / Food / Agribusiness / Medtech
Green Solutions / Green Alternatives
We work with established companies in our investment focus areas that have a convincing growth thesis, clear focus and a compelling competitive advantage. In particular, we partner with owner-managed businesses that are approaching a new critical juncture and preparing to scale up.
Investment Size:
R50 million to R250 million (in single or multiple tranches).
Enterprise Value:
R75 million (initial as part of platform) up to R2 billion.
Geographies:
South Africa and select other Sub Saharan African countries with global / regional growth prospects.
We seek out management with a strong track record of success, that value honesty and integrity and that demonstrate resilience, resourcefulness and drive. We partner with owners and management who are aligned with, and enthusiastic about, the principles of Sanari’s 3S Solution approach and investment strategy. We’re also looking for a shared commitment to profit with purpose.
We invest in companies that meet the following minimum criteria:
