Why subscribe

Africa has the founders. What it lacks is buyers who know them.

Many companies have problems they can't fix in-house, and no easy way to find the startups that could fix them. Founders, meanwhile, build without knowing who might one day buy them.

A subscription gives your team a standing connection to the Circle: the people, the startups and the deals, in every city where we meet.

When you're ready to build

We can build the startup that fixes your problem.

Bring us a problem you can't fix in-house. Our venture studio shapes it into a startup, puts a founder from the Circle in charge, and builds it with you as the first customer and a co-owner. After an agreed period, you can buy it outright.
