Tier One Invest

Headquartered in Dar es Salaam, operating in partnership with Tanzanian government initiatives.

Capital for East Africa's next chapter of growth.

Tier One Invest backs the industries shaping the region's future — from energy and maritime trade to healthcare and the built environment — working alongside stable operators, turnaround businesses and the deals that connect them.

How we invest

We take a disciplined, hands-on approach built around three ways of putting capital to work across the region.

Stable companies looking to expand

We back established, well-run businesses that are ready to scale, providing the capital and strategic support to accelerate their next stage of growth.

Turnaround investment

We work with businesses navigating operational or financial difficulty, bringing capital, governance and hands-on expertise to set them right.

Deal management

Beyond capital, we manage the full lifecycle of a transaction — structuring, negotiating and overseeing every deal from term sheet to close.
