Our story

Why Africa Invests exists

Because $96 billion flows home every year — and less than 4% of it gets invested.

The founder

Salifou Camara

I am African, and I live in Canada. I've worked for financial institutions like RBC and Scotiabank — and I've seen from the inside how wealth is actually built: not by luck, but by access, knowledge and discipline.

Every year, our diaspora sends $96 billion home. It covers school fees, medical bills, family emergencies — and that matters. But almost none of it builds lasting assets. Africa Invests exists to change that: to give Young Africans and the diaspora the education, tools and opportunities to turn income into ownership.

The vision

From media to markets

Africa Invests is growing in three deliberate stages.

Stage 1 · Now

A media company

Weekly bilingual videos and daily market coverage that make African finance understandable — and impossible to ignore.

Stage 2 · Building

An education platform

The Academy: structured courses, community and coaching that take you from spectator to investor.

Stage 3 · The future

A gateway to opportunities

The Opportunity Center: a trusted bridge connecting African and diaspora capital to real projects across the continent.
