About Us

Gola Capital is an investment fund that provides funding and support for Guinean small and medium companies with financing needs between 1 and 10 billion GNF, often slowed down in their development by difficult access to long-term financing and skills.

Who are we ?

Gola Capital is a private company under Guinea law created in 2024 by MBM Capital and Investisseurs & Partenaires (I&P), a pioneering group in impact investment, entirely dedicated to the financing and support of start-ups and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Our Impact Objectives

We are persuaded that companies have an essential social role in the real economy.

In addition to the extra-financial activities, Gola Capital is a committed player in Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) criteria.

One of our objectives is also to promote the social and environmental responsibility of the company and build with the entrepreneur an action plan to boost the impacts on each of its stakeholders (employees, customers, local communities, suppliers…), referring to the framework established by the United Nations with the Sustainable Development Goals.
