The problem
Your LPs want reporting. The field gives you little.
Sourcing rests on referrals, due diligence on the numbers the founder chooses to produce, and post-investment monitoring on the goodwill of a portfolio company that has other things to do. You invest blind, then you report blind.

The principle
Your institution pays nothing
Preparation of the investment file is funded by the target company, not by your fund: it is the company that has the most to gain from presenting itself properly. You receive a file structured as if your own team had prepared it — without consuming your deal budget.
Services rendered to the fund itself — buy-side due diligence, portfolio monitoring, independent impact verification — are mandated and paid for by the fund. The line is clean: whoever receives the service pays for it.
What we operate
From entry to LP reporting
Investment file ready for review
Pitch deck, defensible financial model with sensitivity scenarios, information memorandum — as if your own analysis team had prepared it.
Post-investment monitoring
Regular reporting, structured to your investor profile, produced by an independent third party — without depending on the portfolio company's goodwill.
Independent impact verification
SDG alignment, ESG metrics, additionality — verified by a third party with no stake in the answer.
Buy-side due diligence
Independent financial due diligence, by a team that knows both international standards AND the realities of SYSCOHADA ground truth.
How we work
We start from your thesis
Sector, ticket, stage, geography, exit horizon. Sourcing follows your thesis — not an undifferentiated flow of opportunities.
We verify on the ground
SYSCOHADA financial statements do not read like IFRS. We know where to look, and what a number does not say.
We stay after closing
Standardised monthly reporting, alerts on holdings, impact measurement. What you send your LPs, a third party has verified.
Our reference frameworks
For an institution, a signature commits. The firm, its team, its working standards and its mandates are documented — due diligence runs on us too.

The Letter
The Letter — investment funds edition
Our analyses reserved for institutions: the gap between a SYSCOHADA statement and what it actually describes, the liabilities absent from the data room, security interests off the register. Addressed to a small circle of executives.
