Nile supports and invests in purpose-driven entrepreneurs
Few people deeply contemplate a positive vision for the kind of world they’d like to help create.
For those who do. We’re here to help.
Our team works with entrepreneurs to CoFound new companies on a mission for the greater good. We back leaders who believe in corporate citizenship and are looking for impact beyond short term returns.

Hone their investment narrative
De-risking the launch of new companies.
Our CoFoundry provides affordable expertise until a financial runway is laid and a permanent team can be recruited.
Our support continues post launch too. Our skills and knowledge remain accessible for guidance. We help find talent, coach teams through Nile Academy and when appropriate serve ascompany board members.
Our portfolio
Investing our time, expertise and cash, with start-ups across the globe.
How have we helped?
The contribution of Nile can’t be underestimated. It took something that was really little more than pub chat and turned it into something that is a real and investable business with a top-tier team.
The process gave us and our investors the confidence to take on an industry sized problem
What’s really important is the fact that we now can anticipate the future because it’s something we didn’t really think about… If we can anticipate the trends then we can be far more cognisant of what is going to make our business successful in the future. Nile was instrumental in this.
