I&P

I&P is led by a team of professionals based in Paris and across African offices. The firm does not publicly name a single CEO or CIO. Decisions are made collectively through investment committees structured by region and fund.

I&P sources deals through its network of local funds — Teranga Capital (Senegal), Sinergi (Niger), and Inua Capital (Uganda) — which scout opportunities in their respective regions. The firm also leverages relationships with entrepreneurs and development finance institutions.

I&P is a private equity asset manager with a public mission to support African SMEs. It is not a family office. It operates funds that pool capital from external investors, including development finance institutions, and manages them with a long-term impact focus.

I&P manages a fund-of-funds vehicle called FASA, which invests in other funds targeting African SMEs. It also makes direct investments in individual companies. Both approaches are active parts of their strategy.

I&P targets early-stage (seed, startup) through expansion and growth-stage investments. It also considers PIPEs and public-to-private opportunities, as per its stated strategy. The firm focuses on companies that are often underserved by traditional investors.

I&P does not publicly list sectors it avoids. However, its portfolio concentrates on agriculture, climate technology, and manufacturing, suggesting it prioritizes productive sectors with high potential for social impact.

I&P manages several dedicated funds — Teranga Capital, Sinergi, and Inua Capital — that operate as local investment platforms in Senegal, Niger, and Uganda respectively. These are distinct legal entities but part of the broader I&P group.
