Capital for the EU–East Africa growth corridor.

GeoPlanPartners backs growth-stage agritech, logistics and energy companies that connect East African production with European markets — combining European capital discipline with operating experience on the ground.

GeoPlanPartners backs Ethiopian and Mozambican agritech and logistics companies integrating value chains for EU food off-take markets — combining European capital discipline with on-the-ground operating experience.
Why we are different

Discipline from Europe, operations in East Africa.

European discipline

Fund structuring, diligence and reporting built to the standards European LPs and development-finance partners expect.

African operations

We source, design and pilot projects on the ground in Ethiopia, Uganda and Mozambique, not from a distance.

Quantitative diligence

Decisions grounded in market models and trade-flow analysis, not anecdote.

How we think

Four convictions that shape our work.

  1. 01

    Growth-stage companies in East Africa are underserved by capital partners, not by capital.

  2. 02

    Durable businesses are built where East African production meets European demand.

  3. 03

    Diligence should be quantitative and market-bound.

  4. 04

    Permanent capital alongside founders compounds where short-term capital cannot.

Track record

A track record across both sides of the corridor.

GeoPlanPartners is led by a General Partner who has spent years doing investment scoping and diligence for governments (Netherlands, EU, East African ministries) and banks (including the IFC), while sourcing and piloting solar and IoT systems with SMEs across East Africa.
