Francophone Africa offers many economic opportunities with great potential. However, the lack of access to capital and strategic support fosters an ecosystem where it is difficult to thrive. Haskè Ventures' goal is to create scalable, sustainable and profitable businesses in Francophone West Africa.
Our vision is to revolutionize the universe of start-ups in the region, by reducing the risk of failure in the early stages of the creation of start-ups. Our goal is to fund and support entrepreneurs, bridging the gap between the idea stage and the growth stage.
With decades of experience in entrepreneurship and the private sector, in addition to a solid understanding of the economic growth needs of our region, we identify and develop start-ups based in French-speaking Africa, providing them with all the ingredients for success.
Principles
- Businesses, like entrepreneurs, are unique: Businesses, like entrepreneurs, are unique. We take a personalized approach to business creation. It takes more than capital to build a successful business. From strategy to execution, including seed capital, our innovative business model allows us to support entrepreneurs throughout their journey.
- We have the regional expertise: With our knowledge of French-speaking Africa, its immense opportunities and particularities, we build flourishing businesses in this region with great potential. Our goal is to guarantee our investors a return on investment.
- Immense untapped potential: To create an ecosystem where entrepreneurs can thrive, everyone must contribute. Francophone Africa has immense potential for creating successful businesses, but it remains untapped. The companies in which we invest generate tangible dividends, thanks to the capital, and to the accompaniment that we provide to them.
- Nimble and ready: The global landscape is changing at very high speed, so entrepreneurship is a relevant option for professional development and personal success. Through a very judicious selection and analysis process, we work with the most talented entrepreneurs to contribute to the success of their business.
