About

We gathered a generation of on-the-ground expertise and turned it into an investor asset.

With the dissolution of USAID, thousands of proven business development experts with deep contacts across the continent and years of experience managing billion-dollar portfolios in some of the world’s most challenging environments were released–along with their institutional knowledge and connections worth millions. At Anchorage Africa, we seized this opportunity, gathering that expertise and turning it into an investor asset.

Our edge? Unmatched market access, audit-grade transparency, and a team that can execute in the most challenging of environments. We’re not just preserving institutional know-how--we’re deploying it with rigor to identify high-growth opportunities, diversify risk, and deliver strong returns across sectors at scale.
