GJO & PartnersInvest Matching

Who we serve

Invest Matching equips the identification and first contact between companies and investors, the key stage of a funding or M&A transaction in Sub-Saharan Africa. Two profiles use it: the company looking for funding, a partner or a buyer, and the investor who wants to browse complete files, filtered on their own criteria. The two contact each other directly. Pick your profile to see what applies to you.

A transaction runs through seven phases. Invest Matching operates in the second, identification and first contact, which we consider the key stage: it is where a deal meets, or fails to meet, the investors whose thesis fits it. See where Invest Matching operates in a transaction

You want complete files, not a pile of teasers. Every file published on Invest Matching carries the key information a pre-screen requires: sector, country, amount sought, instrument, key figures. You set your criteria, the platform filters, and you alone decide whether to request contact.
