We are neither one nor the other in the traditional sense. We don’t just consult from the sidelines, and we’re not here to take over your company. We act as entrepreneurial co-pilots, supporting you with strategic advisory, market access, and hands-on implementation. 

In some cases, we engage through sweat equity, especially in early-stage ventures with high potential. Other projects are fee-based or structured around results. We remain flexible, as long as there is trust and we believe in the mission. 

Most consultants bring PowerPoints. We bring people, partnerships and pragmatism. 
We do not stop at strategy. We build pilots, test assumptions on the ground and open real doors through our pan-African network. Every member of our core team has lived and worked entrepreneurially in Africa. That gives us a unique perspective. 

What we propose must not only sound good, but also work in practice. That is why we often work like a co-founder would – not in title, but in mindset. You remain the founder. We join temporarily as entrepreneurial sparring partners. We believe in your idea, challenge it constructively, contribute our own ideas and go all in with you. 

We advise people, not just companies. Our clients often tell us that we became their trusted advisors. That kind of relationship made all the difference during market entry and growth. 

Yes, absolutely. Whether you are in agri-business, consumer goods, fintech, pharma, energy or other industries, we build solutions together with you, not just for you. 

Our approach adapts to your sector, growth stage, and local context. We have worked in over 20 African countries, and through our TEAM AFRICA initiative, we collaborate with local experts in more than 32 countries. 

From startups to corporates, our solutions are tailor-made, based on real-world experience, and designed to scale without losing cultural or operational fit. 

We support both. We believe in building bridges, not borders. 
We work with African startups to become investor-ready, find co-founders and funding, and grow across regions. 

At the same time, we help European companies navigate African markets by providing insights, partners, and structures that work. 

Our strength lies in connecting the dots between both worlds to create shared growth and value. 

Yes, of course. Our core team is based in Germany, and we support many of our clients in their native language : whether that’s German, English, or French. 

Through TEAM AFRICA, we also work with regional experts across the continent who speak the local languages and understand the nuances of each market. 

We are not a law firm, and we do not provide legal advice in a formal sense. However, we work closely with trusted legal partners across Africa and Europe. 
Whether you need help with company formation, IP protection, or complex cross-border contracts, we connect you with vetted experts and support you in managing the legal process strategically. 

We are also happy to take over coordination and implementation, acting as project leads and bridge builders, always aligned with your business goals.
