Investment Thesis

GAIN operates as a not-for-profit angel investor network focused on organizing seed funders to invest in early-stage Gambian businesses. Their philosophy centers on providing not just capital but also mentoring and access to business networks. They seek to ‘spearhead the development of an investment community committed to supporting the development of early stage companies positioned to be future champions of industry in the Gambia.’ The approach emphasizes long-term value creation through viable going concerns rather than quick exits.
