VentureBuilder provides early-stage capital and enterprise development services to scale-up local off-grid solar companies in Africa. It aims to tackle the electricity access gap in Africa, where over 100 million households lack access to modern electricity services. These households often rely on inefficient and costly options like kerosene and candles. VentureBuilder supports indigenous distributors in becoming high-impact solar companies by providing patient capital and technical support. This initiative seeks to increase the outreach of solar companies utilizing the pay-as-you-go (PAYG) business model, which remains underutilized despite the flourishing solar industry. By combining PAYG expertise, talent development, capital investment, and product partnerships, VentureBuilder aims to scale the delivery of modern and affordable electricity solutions, particularly in underserved African markets.
