Solon Capital Partners

Solon Capital Partners is a West-Africa focused investment manager that is pioneering a new approach to economic development and poverty reduction. Our core strategy seeks to maximize risk-adjusted returns by taking an "owner operator" approach to developing high-growth businesses that address the fundamental needs of underserved populations in challenging markets. Unlike most fund managers, we operate through a permanent capital structure which enables us to engage with our companies, investors and other stakeholders over the long term. We seek commercial returns through businesses that operate to the highest ESG standards and aim to be the most aggressive drivers of impact in their markets. Founded in 2010, our investments include five businesses in Sierra Leone, Liberia, Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana and Uganda. Our companies operate in education, conservation, transportation, real estate and professional services. Today, our portfolio has over 1,100 employees, directly impacts the lives of many more and is growing rapidly.
