Even before the deal closed, the team had demonstrated their hands-on attitude by introducing us to several potential partners, helping drive the company set-up and advising on early strategy. Africa requires a special kind of Venture Capital firm and E3 Capital is that kind of firm!
Right from the start, we knew we could count on our new investor. Whether to brainstorm or advise on strategy and people issues. Two specific achievements should be highlighted: Firstly, E3 Capital introduced us to Total, the largest player in our sector, who subsequently piloted our solution. Secondly, they recognised our need for a laser-sharp focus on execution and proactively proposed further funding to give us the runway we needed.
The E3 Capital team is exceptionally knowledgeable about the industry and have been a valuable source of introductions. They have challenged our assumptions and pushed us to focus on longer term challenges / opportunities. At the same time, they are realistic about what it takes for entrepreneurs to build companies in Africa and have supported us throughout.
What an incredible journey it has been since I met the E3 team. From business strategy, hirings, internal organization, IT support, introduction to strategic partners and investors, financial modeling, and team training they have supported us all round with dedication and passion. Above all, they have always shown compassion, support and understanding and are now true friends. They are a passionate team who does not count hours and weekends to deliver and help our business grow. They bring so much to the table that has surpassed expectations. Thank you again for everything!
E3 Capital is the largest shareholder in Mawingu Networks Limited. They have brought a wealth of experience from being a strong Venture Capital Fund. E3 Capital has provided guidance that has aligned and transformed Mawingu into an Infrastructure Company. Right from a corporate structuring perspective to challenging management with a strategic perspective, they have added great value as a shareholder, board member and partner to our business. What's more, with E3 Capital, a distinguishable trait to them is that the Managing Partner is directly reachable for discussion! We are grateful to be in business with this great organization.
E3 Capital backed SunCulture right from the start and have continued to back us even whilst the macro environment was challenging. They have supported the company's efforts to promote local talent from within to the top of the organisation, which really motivates the team. And with their experience across markets and industries are a real strategic asset to our Board. With E3's support we have the platform required to deliver on our exciting plans!
