Investment Focus

Who should take a closer look

Jigsaw Capital is most relevant for founders raising venture-backed rounds in Climate/Cleantech, Energy, Manufacturing, and Industrials, especially across Sub-Saharan Africa, Africa, and Switzerland.

Focus statement

Jigsaw focuses on transformative investments in renewable energy, infrastructure and mineral resources (including rare earths and precious metals), prioritising large‑scale solar, hydro and hybrid energy projects, transmission/grid infrastructure and mineral beneficiation/processing plants across Sub‑Saharan Africa.

Value Add

Strategic global partners: explicitly names Broughton Capital Group (London) as its "Funding & Investment Partner" and PowerChina International Group Ltd (PCIG) as its "Technical & EPC Partner", indicating an integrated funding + technical execution model.
Regional footprint with global headquarters: headquartered in Geneva with regional offices in Lusaka, Gaborone, Dubai and a representative office in London, enabling local presence alongside international capital and expertise.
Operating subsidiaries and project co‑sponsorship: operates dedicated subsidiaries (Jigsaw Investments Limited and Jigsaw Minerals & Processing Limited) that co‑sponsor and develop projects (e.g., Kariba and Kafue 100MW Solar PV projects), showing an on‑the‑ground development role rather than passive investment.
Sector specialization into value‑add processing: explicit focus on mineral beneficiation and processing ("green energy metals (lithium, cobalt, nickel, Copper, etc.)" and "precious metals"), aiming to capture local value‑addition and participation in clean‑energy supply chains.
Integrated skillset: claims a "unique blend of financial, technical, and commercial expertise" to structure and deliver complex infrastructure, energy and mineral projects with precision and long‑term impact.
