Find the capital that fits your project.
Match your African project with the investors, lenders and financing institutions most likely to fund it, based on what they say they finance and what they actually finance.
One sentence is enough, or your company's website address. Your sentence is read by an AI (Google Gemini); InvestMatching does not store it. Do not include anything confidential.

From match to closing, on one platform
Invest Matching does not stop at the target list: the introduction, the document exchange and the verification of the file happen in the same place, tracked end to end.
01
Matching
Funds, banks and financing institutions ranked on their stated thesis and their actual deals, every score explained.
02
Introduction
The investor requests an introduction; the company accepts or declines within 14 days. On acceptance, contact details are exchanged and a private conversation opens.
03
Data room
Versioned folders, access per investor and per folder, a confidentiality agreement signed before the first file, Q&A, access log.
04
Verified review
A partner auditor examines the documents and signs a Trust Note. The Verified badge shows on the file for 12 months.
Each party tracks its own stages in its pipeline, from first contact to signing.
Stated thesis, observed behaviour
Not every investor that says Africa actually finances your market.
A fund may state $5m to $30m tickets across Africa and, in recent years, have signed only debt, in Nigeria, above $15m. Invest Matching reads both: the published thesis and the recorded transactions. The more a fund has invested, the more its score rests on what it does rather than on what it says, and the gap between the two is explained.

From target list to closing
The list tells you whom to approach and why; "My projects" tracks every contact through to funding
The full diagnostic
- An Investment Readiness score on four weighted axes: ticket sizing, margin, fund coverage, instrument.
- The list of matching funds, ranked by historical likelihood of investing, with the reasons for each score and their deals in your sector.
- The blockers identified and the actions to take before the first meeting, as a PDF report.
Keep track over time
- New fund deals land on their profiles: you see who signs, in what, and why.
- Your matching funds are recalculated on every visit: as your revenue or margin grows, new funds may fit you.
- Every fund added to the directory is compared with your file: a new thesis that fits your project shows up in your account.
- "My projects": track your funding applications fund by fund — contact, channel, date, feedback, reasons for declining — and the history of your matching runs.
- For each fund, an analysis of its recent deals: what it actually signs, and what your project should highlight to fit it.
Frequently asked questions about funding in Africa
- How does Invest Matching rank investors and lenders?
- Each source of capital gets two scores. The stated thesis measures how well your project fits what it says it finances: sector (35%), country (30%), ticket (25%), instrument (10%). Observed behaviour measures how closely your project resembles the deals it has actually financed, recent ones weighing more. The score combines both, behaviour weighing more as the track record grows (up to 75%). The order of the list comes from a model trained on the actual participants of past deals, re-estimated monthly. The ranking supports a decision; it is not investment advice.
- How do I know whether an investment fund can finance my company?
- A fund only invests within the perimeter set by its thesis: a sector, a ticket range, a list of countries and a type of instrument. An Ivorian agribusiness looking for $300,000 will not interest an infrastructure fund whose minimum ticket is $10M, however strong the file. The filter compares your four key characteristics (sector, country of operation, amount sought, instrument) against each profile's criteria, taken from the fund's public information or entered by the fund itself, and tells you immediately how many profiles are compatible with yours.
- What amounts do the listed funds invest?
- The range runs from around $25,000 for business angels and seed funds to over $50M for infrastructure and private equity funds. Most funds active in sub-Saharan Africa sit between $500,000 and $10M. Every directory profile shows the fund's minimum and maximum ticket, so you can rule out those beyond reach for your need straight away.
- Which African countries are covered?
- The platform covers francophone and anglophone sub-Saharan Africa — Cameroon, Côte d'Ivoire, Senegal, Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Burkina Faso, Mali, Togo, Benin, Gabon, DRC, Uganda, Madagascar — as well as North Africa (Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt). Some funds think in regional blocs (WAEMU, CEMAC, West Africa, East Africa) rather than individual countries: the matching takes this into account.
- What types of funding can I look for?
- Four broad families. Equity: the fund takes a stake and is rewarded when it sells. Quasi-equity: convertible bonds or revenue-indexed debt, halfway between capital and a loan, with no immediate dilution. Senior or mezzanine debt: a repayable loan, suited to companies that are already profitable. Guarantees: the fund does not lend to you directly but covers your bank, unlocking local credit. Your choice strongly shapes the list of eligible funds.
- Does my file stay confidential?
- Yes. Your legal name is never shown publicly: investors only ever see an anonymous teaser with sector, country, key figures and funding need. Your pitch deck is stored privately and is only accessible through secure, time-limited links, and only to the investors you choose to reply to. The initial test does not even require an account.
- Is the service free?
- During launch, every service on the platform is free, with no card required: the test and the directory (no account), the full file with completeness score and matching funds, introduction requests, the pipeline, the data room with unlimited investors, and the Verified review by a partner auditor. Pricing will be announced before it applies, and none will ever be calculated on a transaction concluded. Only hands-on support from the GJO & Partners firm (structuring the file, preparing for investment committees) is handled as a separate engagement, billed on fixed fees and never by reference to a transaction concluded.
- What is the completeness score?
- It is a rating, visible to you alone, that measures how complete your file is against what investors generally ask for: consistency between the amount sought and your figures, existence of a revenue track record, EBITDA filled in, presence of a pitch deck, clarity of your stage of development. A low score blocks nothing: it identifies what to strengthen before facing an investment committee. It is not shown to investors.
