Silverbacks Holdings
Directeurs du capital-risque et du capital-investissement
We are a capital allocator funding tech, entertainment, sports & underserved sectors bridging Africa to the world.
À propos
We back dominant platforms’ builders in underserved markets. Our goal is to help their founders sustain industry dominance, nurture optimal corporate governance and expand beyond their original jurisdiction. We help them gain more capital, more authority and more empathy. Our priority region is Africa and its vicinity. We typically intervene once product market fit is demonstrated. As a capital allocator, we are a data driven decision firm and seek alpha. We prioritize tech enabled businesses able to capture growing pools of export oriented revenues. Our portfolio is risk-adjusted across a diversity of select high growth industries: tech, entertainment, sports & creative economy related segments. We believe that these sectors play a crucial role in the creation of new jobs and, ultimately, in the strategic positioning of a geography. They also capture both the innovative spirit and untapped energy residing within the youth and women from our priority region.
