Start with $500. Target 15–25% IRR. Vetted deals across Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, Ethiopia, and Rwanda — built for the diaspora.
African diaspora communities send over $100 billion home every year — more than all foreign aid and foreign direct investment combined. Yet only 2–5% of that capital ever reaches structured, equity-backed investments that can generate returns.
The rest sits in remittances, land, or cash — wealth that touches Africa but doesn't build it. Afrikey exists to change that. We identify high-growth SMBs with proven traction, structure them into investable vehicles, and give diaspora investors a real seat at the table — starting at $500.
Explore vetted investment opportunities across 5 African countries. Every deal includes financials, risk ratings, sector breakdowns, and founder backgrounds.

Investments are structured through a Special Purpose Vehicle — a clean, repatriation-protected legal entity that holds your equity stake in the business.
Your funds are pooled through a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) — a foreign-domiciled legal entity that holds your equity stake in the business. This structure protects repatriation of returns and ring-fences each deal independently. Learn more →
Every deal is structured as a foreign-domiciled SPV. Your equity is legally protected and your returns can repatriate without friction — no bureaucratic headaches.
Every deal goes through on-the-ground due diligence — financials verification, founder interviews, market sizing, and risk assessment. We publish the full memo.
