The Thesis
Communities in emerging markets are rich in resources, trust, and resilience, yet trapped in economic structures designed to siphon value away.
We don't just need new companies—we need a fundamentally new model for how economies are built and financed.
Infrastructure in Africa and the Caribbean was designed for extraction, connecting resources to ships rather than people to opportunities. This legacy persists, with 70-95% of value leaking out of communities.
"The opportunity lies in 'Shopify's for infrastructure'—modular, community-owned solutions that capture the margins where wealth is really made."
The traditional VC model, with its 10-year cycle and 20% carry, has extractive DNA rooted in maritime trade and oil wildcatting. It is ill-suited for building sustainable infrastructure in emerging markets.
"We need a new design palette: permanent capital vehicles, democratized equity funds, and revenue-based financing that align incentives with long-term community wealth."
Promising B2B/B2G startups often die in the "missing middle"—too big for seed, too small for global VC. Community-Based Venture Building offers a resilient path to scale.
"By integrating ventures into a shared ecosystem of support, talent, and trust networks, we de-risk investments and create unassailable cultural moats."
