Kua Ventures is a source of affordable capital, coaching, and community for faith-driven, social enterprises in East Africa; creating quality jobs & changing lives while also displaying the love of Christ.
Kua Ventures operates on a comprehensive model comprising three essential tools for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Kenya: Capital, Coaching and Community.
Our capital is focused on helping Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) to grow and expand their existing operations and customer base. We offer a range of debt instruments including secured loans, revenue-based loans and occasionally convertible notes.
We offer professional coaching and mentorship through a network of local and international mentors with entrepreneurial experience, who share the same Christian-driven values. This enhances entrepreneurs’ leadership skills, refines their business strategies, and helps in navigating business obstacles.
We believe in the power of community. Our portfolio fellowships and workshops connect our faith-driven entrepreneurs, fostering a supportive network where knowledge, resources and experiences are shared.
‘Kua’ is a Swahili word meaning to grow, develop, or mature.
Kua Ventures embodies this concept of growth by investing in small and growing faith-based businesses in East Africa. These businesses not only deliver a positive social or environmental change, but also create quality jobs, and activate a community for personal, professional, and spiritual growth for everyone involved.
More so, Kua Ventures’ investment goes beyond the provision of affordable capital; it also includes mentorship by seasoned entrepreneurs, coaching through a series of workshops and masterclasses, and plugging committed entrepreneurs into a vibrant community of peers for support and synergy.
