Keep Moving Forward
Growth Capital For Emerging Markets
What We Do
We track, serve & connect tech companies across New Global Markets focused on Digital Banking Infrastructure. Our role is to act as the invisible hand connecting the best operators and fully scale the ecosystem into a decentralised interoperable network through growth capital. The most successful businesses are global businesses - incubated in places where innovation thrives. As such, we feed and curate constant connectivity within the African continent and the rest of the world.
Our Mandate
The bottom line and long-term vision for Ryad is to build a simple and trusted financial services vehicle capable of going beyond traditional finance narratives of trends to push for actual outcomes driven by data and good. The right path towards progress is through institutions who care for the future. That’s what we aim to be.
Our mandate is to create a unified fintech infrastructure group for Africa; one entity integrating key payments, identity, compliance, and data players across the continent.
We elect an activist investment model to consolidate investments into a fintech infrastructure aggregator. We use private equity and venture capital mechanics for discipline and governance and extend the models to construct the financial backbone of the African and emerging markets economy.
The structure combines staged, risk-controlled acquisitions of early and mid-stage fintech and fintech-adjacent businesses with the selective acquisition of legacy infrastructure companies that anchor the system.
