Approach

Our Approach

GeoPlanPartners invests in the corridor between East Africa and Europe — where production, processing and logistics are being rebuilt just as European buyers seek resilient, traceable supply. We back growth-stage companies that make that corridor work.

GeoPlanPartners is launching a growth-stage venture fund in Amsterdam to back Mozambican and Ethiopian agritech and logistics companies integrating value chains for EU food off-take markets, leveraging the GP's operational track record executing East African trade deals.
The two-sided model

Most funds sit on one side of this corridor. We operate on both.

Europe

Capital, off-take and standards

The capital base, off-take markets, and governance and reporting standards LPs and development-finance institutions require.

East Africa

Founders, production and operating reality

The founders, the production, and the operating reality of scaling in pre-competitive markets.

What we believe

Four convictions guide every investment.

  1. 01

    Growth and scale-up companies in East Africa are underserved by capital partners who understand both the European LP perspective and the operating reality on the ground.

  2. 02

    Value chains connecting East African production to European off-take markets are where durable businesses are built.

  3. 03

    Diligence should be quantitative and market-bound.

  4. 04

    Permanent, patient capital alongside founders compounds where short-term capital cannot.
