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.

⚡ Performance drinks, powered by nature. It shouldn’t take a lightning bolt to feel the power of nature. Thankfully, at MOJU, we’ve bottled a better way. Active, grown, functional ingredients to help you take on any challenge. There’s never been many ingredients to MOJU. In the beginning, it was just two mates. One beaten-up VW Golf. Zero experience. Armed only with simple, homemade cold-pressed juices and a mad ambition to mix up an industry. Why? Well, something was bothering us. In this busy, modern world, we work so hard to be healthy and active. Yet products that say they’ll help you out? They kind of… don’t. Artificial ingredients. Heavy processing. Loads of sugar. It’s not what your body needs. Busy lives deserve better. So, we made it our mission to provide exactly that. We went back to nature, back to millions of years of evolution. To reconnect people with powerful flavours and potent natural ingredients. To do what we can to get you performing better. No miracle cures. Just some of what you need to get you feeling gooooood. It’s never just been about the drinks at MOJU. We’re here to give life our best shot.
