Alitheia IDF Fund

Compiled from public sources

Alitheia IDF Fund (AIF) is a pioneering gender-lens private equity fund that invests in growth-stage Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) across Sub-Saharan Africa. Co-founded and managed by two women-led firms, the Fund's central thesis is that leveraging gender diversity and women's economic participation as entrepreneurs, leaders, employees, and consumers leads to superior financial returns and tangible social impact. It provides equity and quasi-equity expansion capital to high-growth SMEs in sectors where women are predominant, such as Agribusiness, Consumer Goods, and Essential Services (Financial Services, Health, Education). The Fund focuses on identifying and growing companies with gender-diverse teams in order to drive economic and social transformation across the continent.
