Anza runs two programs: The Investment Readiness (IR) Program & The Business Foundations Accelerator (BFA). Both are designed to support distinct segments of entrepreneurs to raise capital and expand their businesses. The IR program supports high-growth ventures with the potential for exponential growth to prepare to raise VC style equity investments, while the BFA supports growing businesses in traditional sectors to obtain debt capital via the Anza Growth Fund and 3rd party lenders.
About the Anza Growth Fund
The Anza Growth Fund (AGF) invests in a select group of companies that successfully advance through the above Anza programs. By investing in companies that have gone through Anza programs, the AGF is able to de-risk their investment and provide below market interest rates and collateral obligations to investees. To date, the AGF’s investments have been structured as debt. Moving forward, the AGF is exploring making convertible note and equity-style investments in graduating companies. Capital is critical to the growth of Tanzanian entrepreneurs, and the AGF seeks to fill this gap in the ecosystem.
Past investees include Swahili Honey, Kazi Yetu, Jibu Tanzania, ShuleSoft, and more.
The Role
We are seeking a talented individual to join the AGF team to help strengthen Fund operations and support the local investment team. This would be a 12 month “fellowship”, based in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. This person will play an integral support role to the AGF team towards implementing systems that will enable the AGF to deploy increasingly meaningful capital amounts to Anza’s target entrepreneurs.
