We focus on sectors where technology adoption can drive operational efficiency, market expansion, and competitive advantage. Our mandate includes investing in promising start-ups and established companies with the potential to scale through the integration of technology into their operations.
Impact and Growth
In alignment with OAO Leap's broader mission, the fund's investment mandate places a strong emphasis on creating a positive impact. We seek investments that not only promise financial returns but also contribute to meaningful social and environmental change. The fund targets businesses that can foster skills development and sustainable job creation, empower SME growth, promote financial inclusion, particularly among women and youth, and drive measurable and sustainable environmental outcomes. Our goal is to invest in companies that leverage technology to not only enhance their bottom line but also make a significant, lasting difference in the communities they serve.
Hands-On Support and Value Addition
At OAO Leap Tech-Enabled Fund, we take an active approach to investing. Beyond providing capital, our mandate involves an operator-investor model, where we actively engage in the businesses we support. We offer strategic guidance, technology expertise, and resources to enhance operational efficiency. By combining our financial backing with hands-on support, we aim to create a portfolio of companies that stand out in their industries and drive innovative, tech-enabled growth. Our focus on best-practice ESG principles ensures that our investments are not only financially viable but also ethically and environmentally responsible.
The OAO Leap Tech-Enabled Fund investment mandate is designed to align with our vision of serving, inspiring, and transforming vast lives. It is an invitation to join us on a journey of technological innovation, social impact, and financial success.
