Secha Capital

Secha Capital operates as an impact investing micro private equity fund providing growth capital and operational support to Southern African SMEs. It employs an "Operator–Investor" model, integrating active engagement with financial investment to develop portfolio companies. The firm focuses on fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG), agribusiness, and healthcare.

Founded in 2016 by Brendan J. Mullen, Rushil K. Vallabh, and Nombuso L. Nkambule, Secha Capital emerged from the insight that African SMEs need operational expertise alongside capital for scaling. The founders, leveraging their impact investing and finance backgrounds, established the firm to bridge this gap with combined investment and active management.

The firm targets growth-stage African SMEs, with a specific focus on female-led businesses. Secha Capital's vision is to bridge the capital and operational gap, fostering sustainable economic development and social impact. This approach aims to cultivate resilient businesses driving local prosperity.
