Akili is a long Africa permanent vehicle for investing and re-investing on the continent. We are a flexible holding company that invests, builds, co-creates, and scales businesses across Africa. We are growing a diversified portfolio of durable, high-growth companies. Akili believes that the future is African, and while the continent is full of entrepreneurs and hustle, it lacks some of the systems, processes, and business infrastructure taken for granted in other parts of the world. Akili empowers African entrepreneurs and operators, bringing them some of the best strategic, operations, product, design and development expertise in the world, and the know-how to efficiently build and grow businesses through customer development, validation, experimentation, and prototyping through the early stages and beyond. For our investors and partners, Akili offers a unique ability to invest broadly in Africa's future, help propel its growth, solve critically important problems of the 21st century, work with great African operators, and build generation-defining value.
