Growth Partner — be our Africa team.
€8,000–€20,000 · per month · retainer
Strategy, partnerships, business development and reporting under one retainer — the closest thing to a country manager, without the overhead. Most clients start with the Scan and grow into this.
"Can you be our team on the ground?"
Not an advisor who checks in quarterly. A team that runs your Africa agenda — with the network, discipline and accountability of an in-house country manager.
A country team, outsourced
- A named senior lead and core team
- Quarterly strategy reviews with your leadership
- Partnership development: vet, negotiate, manage
- Business development execution
- Monthly board-ready reporting
- Direct access to the Northcap network in-market
One retainer, three rhythms
Short status: pipeline, blockers, decisions needed.
Progress against agreed KPIs, board-ready.
Where to push, where to hold, where to exit.
What it is not
Not a headcount illusion
We are your accountable team — not a substitute for the local hire you genuinely need.
Not a passive retainer
If nothing moves, we tell you — and we change the plan.
Not for first experiments
This is the flagship for companies with real momentum. Start with the Scan if you are earlier.
A retainer, not a project

Who it is for
European mid-market companies already active or committed in Africa — who need a senior, on-the-ground team without hiring one.
Straight answers
How is this different from hiring locally?
We bring a vetted network, senior oversight and Nordic reporting discipline — available from day one. You avoid the recruitment, onboarding and management overhead.
Can we start smaller?
Yes. The most common path is Scan → Assessment → Entry/Launch → Growth Partner. Start where you are.
Who is on our team?
A named senior lead, backed by the Northcap network in the Horn and partner markets. Same people, month after month.
What do you report?
KPIs agreed at the quarterly strategy review — pipeline, partnerships, revenue progress — reported monthly.
