Founded in 2012, Persistent is Africa’s Climate Venture Builder. We are leading experts and pioneer investors in the off-grid solar energy and e-mobility sectors on the continent, with 20 early-stage investments in pay-as-you-go (PAYG) solar distributors, commercial and industrial solar (C&I), mini-grid developers, technology enablers and e-mobility companies.

Persistent provides, through its venture building model, early-stage capital and strong operational support to exceptional entrepreneurs in underserved markets. It helps them build companies that address climate change and deliver competitive financial returns required for lasting social impact. To date, Persistent has contributed to improving 5 million lives, saving 1.2 million tons of CO2e, and creating 15,000 jobs.
