Founding Partner of the Africa Jobs Fund (AJF), a philanthropic-backed investment fund focused on catalyzing high-productivity jobs across Africa through export manufacturing and international labor mobility. AJF is a fund of Renaissance Philanthropy, targeting a cost per Doubled Consumption Year of $25 or below versus GiveWell's roughly $100 benchmark.
Previously founded and ran Wasoko, a B2B commerce platform serving informal retailers across Africa. Board chair of Malengo, which moves East African students to Germany via Income Share Agreements.
I'm also looking for founders to build and scale AJF-aligned ventures in export manufacturing and international labor mobility to connect Africa to the world.
Reach out if you'd like to talk through building and scaling businesses across Africa, international labor mobility as a development intervention, or applying EA thinking to LMIC economic growth.
Thanks for the very thorough write up! Excited to support Healthier Hen's launch into Kenya.
