Persistent is Africa’s Climate Venture Builder. For over a decade, Persistent has been a leader in developing and investing in climate-focused businesses that are part of the Energy Transition. Our investing and company building in solar energy, e-mobility and energy efficiency have positively impacted over 6 million people, avoided over 1.5 million tons of CO2e, created 20,000 jobs, and provided clean energy services to over 15,000 SMEs.

Our approach combines equity investment with human capital support to early-stage, impact-driven companies, accelerating their pathways to scale and profitability. While we continue to focus on supporting the Energy Transition, we are beginning to invest in climate-focused businesses that are part of the Resource Transition and the Agricultural Transition. Persistent is dedicated to promoting a sustainable future while delivering exceptional returns to our investors. We are currently raising the Persistent Africa Climate Venture Builder Fund to increase our level of investing and company building.
