WHO IS RENEW?
At
RENEW, we see opportunities in Africa where others too often only
notice the problems. We invest rather than provide handouts by finding
promising businesses, connecting them to investors around the world and
growing them into world-class companies. We do this because we believe
that many growing businesses, together, create the engine that lifts
entire nations out of poverty. Our vision is to become the best middle
market investment firm in Africa, investing in 20 countries across the
continent. We’re looking to hire those who embody our values and get
excited about our vision.

Since
2012, we have been pioneering an innovative blended-finance model that
partners with the development community and focuses on investing in
high-potential small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Africa. This
blended-finance model allows us to invest in smaller deals that are
often overlooked by larger investors but are too big for microfinance.
We then help these companies build disciplined, gender-smart management
systems and teams and grow them into market leading companies. As a
result of our investment work to date, we have become one of the most
active SME investment firms in East Africa, and our network of investors
(the Impact Angel Network) has grown to become the largest North
American-based angel network dedicated to investing in SMEs in Africa.

such, we hire individuals who are committed to their work, take pride in
what they do and are relentless in advancing projects forward in a
systematic manner. Additionally, the people that flourish at RENEW are
mission-driven; they see the big picture and the long-term result of
their work, and they sincerely wish to make a lasting economic impact on
the continent of Africa. If this sounds like you, we encourage you to
apply.
