Open Capital Advisors is a social enterprise based in Nairobi with the mission of supporting innovative, high-potential SMEs which lack the strategic guidance and capital required to achieve growth and impact. By merging the roles of a management consultancy and investment bank, Open Capital is able to develop growth strategies for SMEs and structure investments, working with a large network of impact investors in Africa and the US. Open Capital is also able to engage with investors, NGOs, and MNCs to improve access and develop creative structures for impact investments in Africa.

Open Capital is an early stage, entrepreneurial company that has leveraged experience and a broad network to grow rapidly. Having closed its first several deals, they are now focused on growing the team and opening new offices to expand there presence in Africa. Open Capital is working with several global partners to tackle larger challenges, including reducing inefficiencies in investor due diligence and financial structuring, opening legal channels to improve foreign capital access for African SMEs, and developing local mechanisms to encourage entrepreneurship.

To continue its growth and impact, Open Capital has launched a Fellows Program to bring bright, creative MBA and Undergraduate students to Nairobi to work directly with clients. The first three Fellows have taken responsibility for designing growth strategy, assessing impact, and structuring and negotiating deals through leadership roles in Open Capital´s project teams.

Open Capital is actively recruiting for summer Fellows and welcomes your interest at: fellowships@opencapitaladvisors.com
