We uphold the highest integrity and all our credits are third-party monitored, verified & validated.
Our Story
NOBON was founded in 2020 by Joakim Blom and Michael Akampa, under the name Investure, with the goal of mobilising more capital to developing markets.
We support African companies to raise equity, debt and blended finance funding, and professional investors to co-invest and syndicate on our private market platform.
With a vision to create impact at scale, we now welcome a broader audience to join us on our mission to combat climate change.
