Who we are

Flint Atlantic Capital was borne out of a desire to transform the healthcare landscape in Africa. Leveraging deep insights in the African healthcare landscape, we make high impact investments that unlock the market potential of the health sector across all stages of the value chain from early stage to growth stage companies. As an impact investment firm, we have a dual mission of delivering sustained returns to our investors while mandating measurable social impact as a core investment criterion. 

 

Why healthcare?

At Flint, we believe that investments in health precede economic development and so see healthcare as a critical sector for fostering economic growth. There are four main reasons why we choose to play in this sector:

The market Is large and growing

In fact, best available estimates predict a market size of US $21billion by 2018 in Nigeria alone.This will be dominated by the private for-profit sector. Maintaining or improving the state of one’s health is a priority that cuts across all segments of society

Healthcare is a resilient sector

The healthcare sector is counter-cyclical and resilient in the face of economic headwinds. In our core markets, historical growth rates in the healthcare sector have continuously outpaced overall GDP growth. We expect this trend to continue.

We offer a unique value proposition

Our team has unparalleled expertise in healthcare, and deep networks across the public and private sectors. Due to our extensive understanding of the sector, we are best positioned to offer a distinctive and inimitable value proposition to healthcare investors and entrepreneurs alike.

Access to capital is the biggest challenge

We have identified access to capital as a critical roadblock, preventing healthcare opportunities from achieving their true market potential. Our unique investment model relieves this immediate bottleneck, while grooming portfolio companies to be attractive prospects for follow-on funding in later investment rounds

Mission, Vision and Objectives

Our corporate mission is to become the foremost pan-african impact investment firm in health,
bringing accessible and quality healthcare to the ‘health poor’ in africa.

VISION

Our vision is to transform the healthcare landscape in Africa. We will do this in two primary ways:

  • By leveraging our insight and relationships to shape the healthcare market via collaboration with other influential public and private entities and innovative investment models.
  • By investing in opportunities which create measurable impact for society while delivering solid returns to our investors.

OBJECTIVES

Our vision is supported by four key objectives:

  • To unlock the latent market potential in the health sector by addressing market failures
  • To originate and execute profitable investments that improve access to and quality of care for the ‘health poor’
  • To catalyse new markets in healthcare by investing in novel and disruptive platforms and enabling them to achieve scale
  • To originate and execute investments that guarantee a reasonable return on investment for our investors and partners

Team

Our team has extensive experience navigating the healthcare sector across Africa as well as in the developed world and is supported by professionals with a wealth of fund management, investment banking, corporate advisory and start-up operations expertise. In addition to our investing activities, our core competencies include market insight, commercial due diligence and advisory services.
