EXEO Capital

EXEO Capital operates as a pan-African alternative investment manager and principal investor, specializing in private equity. The firm builds and supports businesses across strategically selected sectors and themes, emphasizing active partnerships through strategic insights, robust networks, and operational performance improvements. Their approach involves a rigorous investment process, focusing on proprietary deal origination and creating larger investment platforms rather than smaller, standalone ventures.

Founded in 2007 by co-founders Herman Marais, Izak Strauss, and Avril Stassen, EXEO Capital emerged from their collective entrepreneurial experience and a deep understanding of the African continent. The founding insight centered on the belief that purposeful capital deployment can drive sustainable growth. The firm's ethos, "creating value consciously, so that companies and people may thrive," underpins its commitment to being a business builder in Africa, by Africans.

EXEO Capital serves a diverse base of institutional investors who trust the firm with their capital, alongside a portfolio of investee companies across nine African countries. The company envisions leveraging the power of business and investment to foster sustainable wealth creation and socio-economic development throughout Africa. Their long-term vision is to establish sustainable businesses by partnering with enterprises that align with their commitment to both planetary and human well-centric operations.
