Invest Matching · For investors

Browse the African company files that fall within your criteria

Business angel, family office, club deal or fund: state your criteria once, and the platform filters for you. Contact is yours to request.

Free. Profile published after a completeness check, within 2 business days.

Your thesis, in four criteria

These are exactly the four axes the filter runs on. Leaving one unchecked means no filter on it.

Ticket

A minimum and a maximum in dollars. A file outside your range is never shown to you.

Sectors

Fifteen sectors, from agribusiness to fintech, including energy, healthcare and logistics.

Countries

Francophone and anglophone sub-Saharan Africa, plus North Africa. Seventeen countries covered.

Instruments

Equity, quasi-equity, senior or mezzanine debt, guarantees. You only see what you actually do.

What you see

The published files that fall within your criteria, in your dashboard, and an email notification when a new file enters them. One email a day at most, switchable off from your profile. You request contact; the company alone decides whether to reply.

Sample teaser

Agribusiness · Cameroon · Growth

Revenue: $1.2M · Seeking: $0.8M (Equity)

Published 3 days ago · 2 contact requests

Illustrative example. The company's identity only appears if it chooses to reply to your contact request.

Confidentiality runs both ways

The company stays anonymous

You see a teaser: sector, country, stage, key figures, funding need. Never the legal name, never the pitch deck, until the company has chosen to reply to you.

Your profile is checked before publication

No profile enters the directory or the filter without a completeness and authenticity check: the fields are filled in and the account genuinely represents the organisation it claims. This is not a purchased address list.

See who else is in contact

Investors in contact

By requesting contact on a file, you see the other investors who requested it and they see you. You talk directly; the platform puts no round together.

Co-investment notices

Already leading a deal and looking for co-investors? Post a notice: round size, amount already secured, minimum ticket, deadline. Interested investors write to you directly.

Already listed

93 funds and investment vehicles active in Africa are in the directory. Each profile details its thesis: ticket, sectors, countries, instruments.

Frequently asked questions from investors

Is the service paid for an investor?
No. Creating your profile, the filter and the email notifications are all free. Only tailored support from the GJO & Partners firm (structuring, investment committee preparation) is a separate engagement, billed on fixed fees and never by reference to a transaction concluded.
How many files will I see?
The platform is still building its flow: we promise no volume. Creating your profile now means being in place when files arrive, not browsing an existing stock. You will only ever be notified on what genuinely falls within your criteria; a file outside them is never shown to you.
Who checks my profile, and how long does it take?
A completeness and authenticity check, within 2 business days. Until it is published, your profile appears neither in the directory nor in the filter, and triggers no notification.
What triggers an email notification?
A published file that enters your criteria on all four axes at once: sector, ticket, country, instrument. Files are grouped into a single daily email, written as a publication notice, and you can switch notifications off at any time from your profile.
My fund is already in the directory. What should I do?
Claim its profile from its public page. Once your affiliation is verified, you take control: you adjust your criteria, and both the filter and the notifications follow them.
What does the company see of me?
Nothing, until you request contact. When you do, the company sees your name, organisation and email, and alone decides whether to reply. The other investors who requested contact on the same file also see your name.
Is Invest Matching a financial intermediary?
No. Invest Matching is a publishing and communication tool published by GJO&PARTNERS LTD, which is not authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority. The platform does not advise, recommend, negotiate or take anything on transactions. It is not directed at persons located in the United Kingdom, other than investment professionals and high net worth companies (articles 19 and 49 of the Financial Promotion Order): a fund or institution based in London can therefore open an account. What you do with a file is your own decision and your own analysis.
