At 885 Capital we champion the big ideas that fuel ambitious, bold, and innovative projects.

Philosophy

Thinking big

885’s Capital philosophy is rooted in thinking big and backing ambitious ideas, whilst still respecting the need to start with small steps and respect diversity and local culture.

Evaluate & relate

As entrepreneurs and active managers, we can evaluate, relate to, and support the journey of other founders and management teams.

Decisive

As direct hands-on decision makers with a long-term outlook, we are able to act fast and deploy capital decisively without a fear of short-term volatility.

Starting out in West Africa by founding a retail-based business, the pair’s focus evolved to more scalable online and mobile commerce. Since then, they have expanded across regions and continents, and now manage a robust and diverse portfolio of businesses that they helped to grow and develop.
