It provides growth capital to scale companies offering clean, affordable, and efficient renewable energy solutions to East Africa's off-grid populations. KawiSafi Ventures primarily invests in early-stage and growth-stage companies, with investment sizes ranging from $5 million to $50 million. Managed by Acumen Capital Partners, a wholly owned subsidiary of Acumen, KawiSafi Ventures has a team with over 40 years of combined experience in investing in renewable energy and climate in Africa and other emerging markets.
