About Silverbacks
We Back Dominant Platforms' Builders in Underserved Markets

Silverbacks Holdings
Established in 2019, Silverbacks Holdings, a Mauritius based company, is an alternative investment firm targeting select private exposures in Africa related high growth companies. We partner with outliers in Tech, Sports, Entertainment and creative economy related ecosystems. We prioritize tech enabled businesses able to capture growing pools of export oriented revenues. They tend to deliver jaw dropping customer experiences, irrespective of audience or geography. We target an average return of 3x to 5x on our investments, having achieved 8 profitable exits often beyond those levels since our inception. We help them sustain market dominance, improve governance and gain global authority typically once they have demonstrated product market fit. Ultimately, Silverbacks’ obsession is to amplify founders’ reach far beyond their original jurisdiction while creating jobs for as many youths and women led companies.
