About Inua Capital
Inua Capital is a pioneering gender-lens impact investment fund in Uganda. As the first locally-based impact investor dedicated to high-potential Ugandan SMEs across all economic sectors, Inua Capital aims to address the acute lack of support for SMEs in the country. They provide commercial, patient, and flexible equity and quasi-equity capital to help scale enterprises, along with intense operational and strategic support, mentorship, and participation on boards.
They also offer technical assistance grants to improve ESG sustainability, finance systems, and de-risk the business model. Inua Capital leverages its Africa-wide networks of suppliers, funders, and markets to provide networking opportunities and peer-learning experiences. With a long-term commitment to building sustainable businesses, their goal is to invest in over 30 Ugandan SMEs in the next 10 years, creating employment for more than 1,500 Ugandans and benefiting over 5,000 individuals
