Where do you fit?
Finance, and the skills to use it
We invest, then we work inside the business on money, systems and sales.
Grow with us →Invest beside an operating team
Back companies that have people in the room, not only a name on the cap table.
How we invest →Fund what makes an SME investable
Grant money builds the capacity that a loan on its own cannot buy.

Two engines
Most of our companies take both. The service-backed loan came out of that: one agreement that carries the finance and the missing skills together.

$1.3M facility
AMFRI Farms Ltd
AMFRI had the organic certification and the export orders. It had no processing plant near the Entebbe cargo hub, so it lost margin on every shipment. We invested with Yield Fund Uganda and paid for the plant.
Egg Production Uganda Ltd
COVID-19 stopped the build and cut the egg price. One agreement carried the finance and the management fix together.

One volatile crop carried all the price risk. We funded 100 new acres, two reservoirs and solar pumps.

Coverage
Are we a fit?
Check it in one minute.
Tick what is true for your company. We finance businesses that already sell to paying customers. We do not fund an idea.
How venture building works
You pay for this work. That is the point.
There is no free advice here. We agree the fee before we start, and we agree what we must deliver for it. That keeps the incentives straight on both sides.
The services
Financial management and accounting. ESG management. Marketing and sales. Market research.
How long
6 to 12 months before an investment. Up to four years after one.
How we are paid
An agreed fee for the service, set before the work starts.
Why buy it
A growing company does not need every management function in-house. Some are cheaper to buy than to hire.
