Our focus is on health —but the effects reach further. Healthier people can work, care for others, and build futures. Our 
ventures create jobs, strengthen health systems, expand access to care andreduce the health impacts of climate change. 
Conscious capital goes in. Impact and returns come out. Then we reinvest —fueling a cycle of growth, dignity, and prosperity.

Investing in Africa’s Health Entrepreneurs
5
Entrepreneurship is Africa’s next wave of development —health is at its 
leading edge. 
Africa has made extraordinary health gains over the past two decades   
—including an 80% drop in HIV-related deaths, a 60% drop in malaria 
deaths, and an 11-year increase in life expectancy.
These gains were driven by decades of investment in public health 
systems and local capacity. But pressure is rising. Climate shocks, 
chronic disease, and displacement are pushing fragile health systems 
beyond their limits.
Today, a new chapter is emerging —powered by African entrepreneurs 
building scalable, sustainable, affordable health solutions.
Madiro invests in the missing middle —backing bold Seed to Series A 
ventures solving real health challengesacross the continent, where 
early-stage companies often struggle to thrive without catalytic capital.
