Frequently asked questions
What investment stages does Centum Capital Partners target?
The firm targets both buyout and growth equity transactions. Growth-stage investments focus on companies scaling operations, while buyout strategies involve acquiring controlling stakes in mature businesses where operational or strategic changes can drive returns. This dual mandate is typical of East African GPs navigating markets with limited deal flow across any single stage.
How does Centum Capital Partners source deals in East Africa?
Deal sourcing in East Africa relies heavily on local networks, intermediary relationships, and the firm's physical presence in Nairobi. Unlike developed markets where auctions are common, East African private equity often depends on proprietary introductions through advisory firms, banking partners, and entrepreneur referrals. The firm's on-the-ground positioning is its primary sourcing advantage.
