Cepheus Fund

Cepheus Growth Capital Fund LP, a Mauritius limited partnership (the “Fund”), is targeting a US$100 million fund to make investments into non-publicly traded companies or securities in Ethiopia and, in limited circumstances, greater East Africa where company operations are strategically aligned with investments in Ethiopia. These investments will be in (i) small but profitable businesses that are underserved by local capital markets and (ii) operating companies seeking growth capital to expand to meet market demand. The project will be supported by the Blended Finance Facility of the IDA18 IFC-MIGA Private Sector Window (PSW), created by the Word Bank Group to catalyze private sector investment in IDA countries, with a focus on fragile and conflict-affected states.
