GROWING COMPANIES FROM CONCEPTS

Though great new business ideas are being conceived every minute, the truth is: most of them never see the light of day.

At Muzungu, we pave the way for talented entrepreneurs to bring their ideas to life. We help translate business cases into feasible strategies, keeping an eye on even the smallest details to ensure big results. In short, we help get companies into shape to maintain a successful business model and strong market position for years to come.

CREATING VALUE AT SCALE

Muzungu creates value. We identify entrepreneurial figures who have the right skill sets to make their dreams come true and support them on their way to the top – in part by providing the liquidity needed for development and growth. We’re both a sounding board and an active sparring partner, examining projects from the perspective of experienced, successful entrepreneurs. We use our deep-seated knowledge to give the founders of new companies the tools they need to make good decisions and reach the targets and goals they’ve set.

We like to get involved in the early stages of a project at a volume of anywhere from 250 thousand to 2 million euros. We’re extremely selective about the ideas and companies we invest in – most of which have their home bases in Europe and the USA – for one simple reason: We only focus on industries in which we’re experts.

We only focus on industries in which we’re experts.

Digital Marketing

Online Advertising

Ad Technologies

Social Media

Content Marketing

We’re not in the copycat business. We seek out original, innovative ideas with the potential to become the next big thing. Because the line between “brilliant” and “crazy” can be very thin indeed, we examine ideas closely to identify where their real value lies.

WE DID IT BEFORE, AND WE’LL DO IT AGAIN

If you want to learn to swim instead of sink, you need an expert instructor. Muzungu is like having your own personal crew of Olympic swimmers. Together, our hand-picked team has a history of establishing and managing a number of successful companies. Ronald Paul, the founder of Muzungu Capital, has seen it all, from his company’s humble beginnings in his apartment to navigating a successful international exit strategy for his 400-staff-strong performance marketing agency.

Funding may be a necessity, but it’s not always the only thing needed to take a company to the top. That’s why Muzungu does more than just invest money. Our global network opens domestic and international doors so our partners can grow and expand as they enter new markets.
