INTRODUCTION TO BAMBWA GROUP
Integral to Bambwas strategy are eigth key goals:
Bambwa Group AB (Bambwa) is a venture capital firm (VC) that invests in African and Nordic growth companies seeking to
expand their operations across Africa and globally.
Based on our 30 years international VC and industrial experience, we have in the last year successfully established Bambwa in
the Nordics as well as in East and West Africa. We have now our own local senior management on the ground in Ghana, Liberia,
Kenya, Denmark, and Sweden. The first 3 investments are made and there is a promising pipeline with new opportunities.
Our mission is to improve people’s quality of life by investing in companies with high return and growth potential, using a
proven framework; The Bambwa Model (developed by 2M Invest), and our international network.
After our investment of USD 2.5 mill, by 54 Swedish, Daniash and US investors and our management, we are now doing a
Private Placement of USD 7-10 mill. The subscription period will be 15th November to 15th January 2019.
The market cap of Bambwa, pre money, is USD 2.5 mill.
Based on the growing interest we meet, from private investors, for investing in venture capital as well as in emerging markets,
and our expected financial performance, with a break even in 2020, we are actively working towards an IPO in 2020.
Strong stakeholder engagement and investor relationships have a high priority for Bambwa. We will continuously share
information about the growth in our portfolio and the development of the “New” Africa. Further, we will take part at
conferences, as well as partner in various government programs. From the feedback we receive, we expect the Bambwa share
to become very popular, both among retail investors as well as among institutions.
We would like to welcome you, as a new shareholder, on this mission and thereby support
our target to make impact by action.

YOU CAN JOIN US AS INVESTOR
Africa represents a fantastic future as well as some
very attractive low-hanging fruits. This has been
the main reason for China to invest an enormous
amount of money in Africa over the last 20 years.
Other super economies, like Korea,
are now following.
It is for similar reasons that we, over the last five
years, have seen thousands of Africans, who have
studied and worked abroad, have decided to go
back to Africa and “build their homeland”. Many of
them are going to be the ones who accelerate the
growth of Africa, support democracy, fight the
corruption and grow the business sector.
WE ARE ON A MISSION, WITH A VERY CLEAR TARGET!

While Africa is “growing”in terms of human
resources, they are also adopting new and existing
technology at a very fast speed.
This is a boost and a game changer for Africa and
provides fertile ground for growth and economic
stimulation.
This proves a perfect match with
“The Bambwa Model”. Our tech know-how,
business experiences and local and
international network can be instrumental in
supporting the growth of the new Africa.

THE BAMBWA MODEL
The Bambwa Model originates from a
framework sucessfully used and
developed over a 30 year period by
international VC pioneer 2M Invest and
the Bambwa Management.
The business model combines
traditional elements such as portfolio
management, industry knowledge and
global network, with aspects applied by
business angels, such as active business
development through management
expertise and access to funding.
The local and global
Bambwa insider network
(inc. US and Asia) can be
leveraged by all portfolio
companies in order to
create vital development
shortcuts and yield new
business opportunities and
upgrade the management.
Bambwa’s investment directors
and partners support any portfolio
company within areas such as
Strategy, Business Development,
Organizational Development,
Sector Expertise, Financial
Controlling, Internationalisation
and, Exit Strategies.
Result: a highly effective
partnership in improving the
management team.
Bambwa’s mission is to improve
people’s quality of life by
investing in high growth
companies and creating impact
by action. We take a hands-on
active ownership approach and
leverage our international
network.
Investment opportunities exist when:
A) we have senior experience and insights in
the industry & technology,
B) we believe in the local and global market
potential.
C) we recognize an opportunity based on our
experience in similar ‘special situations’.
Eg. Expand management, internationalization
or IPO.
Any portfolio company will leverage the
extensive experience that Bambwa’s
management possesses within business
development and expansion.
Bambwa seeks to utilize the great potential that
exists in Intra-African trade, growing our
businesses across Africa as well as globally.

THE BAMBWA MODEL AND TEAM
BAMBWA GROUP - INTRODUCTION
Key to our setup is the multilateral relationship between the Nordics and East and West Africa:
Bambwa's ambition is to help the portfolio companies enter the Nordics and Western
world, extending the reach of their impact.
Local knowledge, presence and workforce give Bambwa local business
status across Nordics, East and West Africa. This has already resulted in a large number of
requests from Nordic companies and individuals, who want to invest in setting up African
businesses.
Bambwa will utilize the growing trend of Pan African/Intercontinental trade, based on our
multiple positions acrosss Africa. Intercontinental trade in Africa today is only 16% compared
to 70% in Europe.

a Spin-off from the Danish Diary, Emborg, today a listed company and Market Leader in West Africa.
Founders and investors did an exit around USD 600 m in 2013.
Founded in 2007, in Kenya, now in 10 countries and processes 6 billion transactions (in 2016), very profitable
and hugely influencial in the region. A classic example of how Africa today is leapfrogging technology and
creating new sustainable business models. In comparison, mobile payment only recently took off in the Nordics;
ex Swish in Sweden (2012) and MobilePay in Denmark (2013).
Kinnevik understands well the opportunities in Africa. They own 38% of Millicom, a provider of cable and mobile
services in Africa. With 19,000 employees and services to approximately 51 million customers, Millicom is
valued at SEK 19.4bn. Another investment, BIMA, provides mobile-delivered insurance, with 26 million
customers, mainly in Africa. Valued at USD 92 m.

Bambwa will expand country offices in two phases:
In phase 2, Ghana and Kenya will serve as hubs for Bambwa’s activities
in West- and East Africa, respectively.
In phase 3, Bambwa will enter Nigeria and South Africa.
A recent survey among PE funds investing in Africa showed that 94%
of respondents expected to invest in Ghana in 2017 and forth, making
Ghana the most popular investment destination in West Africa for
new investments.
Equity investors find Nigeria very attractive. 32% of total African
PE investments between 2012-2017 happened in Nigeria.
South Africa is the most sophisticated and developed economy in Africa.
Kenya is at the forefront in three critical areas: (1) A conscious and
aggressive government program to develop a broadband infrastructure,
(2) two crucial innovations – mobile money and crowdsourcing platforms,
and (3) the development of a tech incubator and accelerator model for the
continent.
Liberia will serve as a test market due to its limited population, vast
natural resources and structural conditions which allows for e.g. a
nationwide roll-out of Unumed’s (Bambwa portfolio company) healthcare
IT system. 24 countries in Africa have a population of less than 10 million
people.

  • 2. INTRODUCTION TO BAMBWA GROUP Integral to Bambwas strategy are eigth key goals: Bambwa Group AB (Bambwa) is a venture capital firm (VC) that invests in African and Nordic growth companies seeking to expand their operations across Africa and globally. Based on our 30 years international VC and industrial experience, we have in the last year successfully established Bambwa in the Nordics as well as in East and West Africa. We have now our own local senior management on the ground in Ghana, Liberia, Kenya, Denmark, and Sweden. The first 3 investments are made and there is a promising pipeline with new opportunities. Our mission is to improve people’s quality of life by investing in companies with high return and growth potential, using a proven framework; The Bambwa Model (developed by 2M Invest), and our international network. After our investment of USD 2.5 mill, by 54 Swedish, Daniash and US investors and our management, we are now doing a Private Placement of USD 7-10 mill. The subscription period will be 15th November to 15th January 2019. The market cap of Bambwa, pre money, is USD 2.5 mill. Based on the growing interest we meet, from private investors, for investing in venture capital as well as in emerging markets, and our expected financial performance, with a break even in 2020, we are actively working towards an IPO in 2020. Strong stakeholder engagement and investor relationships have a high priority for Bambwa. We will continuously share information about the growth in our portfolio and the development of the “New” Africa. Further, we will take part at conferences, as well as partner in various government programs. From the feedback we receive, we expect the Bambwa share to become very popular, both among retail investors as well as among institutions. We would like to welcome you, as a new shareholder, on this mission and thereby support our target to make impact by action. Bambwa Group Michael Mathiesen President YOU CAN JOIN US AS INVESTOR Africa represents a fantastic future as well as some very attractive low-hanging fruits. This has been the main reason for China to invest an enormous amount of money in Africa over the last 20 years. Other super economies, like Korea, are now following. It is for similar reasons that we, over the last five years, have seen thousands of Africans, who have studied and worked abroad, have decided to go back to Africa and “build their homeland”. Many of them are going to be the ones who accelerate the growth of Africa, support democracy, fight the corruption and grow the business sector. WE ARE ON A MISSION, WITH A VERY CLEAR TARGET! 5 731 2 6 84 Create value for shareholders, employees and society. Integrate our portfolio with our global business network. Promote sustainable business practice in portfolio companies. Global Top 20% in long-term venture capital return. Be an innovative / disruptive business developer.

  • 4. 3. ONGOING EXECUTION FOR 30 YEARS THE BAMBWA MODEL The Bambwa Model originates from a framework sucessfully used and developed over a 30 year period by international VC pioneer 2M Invest and the Bambwa Management. The business model combines traditional elements such as portfolio management, industry knowledge and global network, with aspects applied by business angels, such as active business development through management expertise and access to funding. The local and global Bambwa insider network (inc. US and Asia) can be leveraged by all portfolio companies in order to create vital development shortcuts and yield new business opportunities and upgrade the management. Bambwa’s investment directors and partners support any portfolio company within areas such as Strategy, Business Development, Organizational Development, Sector Expertise, Financial Controlling, Internationalisation and, Exit Strategies. Result: a highly effective partnership in improving the management team. Bambwa’s mission is to improve people’s quality of life by investing in high growth companies and creating impact by action. We take a hands-on active ownership approach and leverage our international network. Investment opportunities exist when: A) we have senior experience and insights in the industry & technology, B) we believe in the local and global market potential. C) we recognize an opportunity based on our experience in similar ‘special situations’. Eg. Expand management, internationalization or IPO. Any portfolio company will leverage the extensive experience that Bambwa’s management possesses within business development and expansion. Bambwa seeks to utilize the great potential that exists in Intra-African trade, growing our businesses across Africa as well as globally.

  • 5. BAMBWA GROUP - INTRODUCTION Key to our setup is the multilateral relationship between the Nordics and East and West Africa: Bambwa's ambition is to help the portfolio companies enter the Nordics and Western world, extending the reach of their impact. Local knowledge, presence and workforce give Bambwa local business status across Nordics, East and West Africa. This has already resulted in a large number of requests from Nordic companies and individuals, who want to invest in setting up African businesses. Bambwa will utilize the growing trend of Pan African/Intercontinental trade, based on our multiple positions acrosss Africa. Intercontinental trade in Africa today is only 16% compared to 70% in Europe. KENYA 6. FOCUS SECTORS 7.

Founded in 2007, in Kenya, now in 10 countries and processes 6 billion transactions (in 2016), very profitable and hugely influencial in the region. A classic example of how Africa today is leapfrogging technology and creating new sustainable business models. In comparison, mobile payment only recently took off in the Nordics; ex Swish in Sweden (2012) and MobilePay in Denmark (2013). Kinnevik understands well the opportunities in Africa. They own 38% of Millicom, a provider of cable and mobile services in Africa. With 19,000 employees and services to approximately 51 million customers, Millicom is valued at SEK 19.4bn.

Bambwa will expand country offices in two phases: In phase 2, Ghana and Kenya will serve as hubs for Bambwa’s activities in West- and East Africa, respectively. In phase 3, Bambwa will enter Nigeria and South Africa. A recent survey among PE funds investing in Africa showed that 94% of respondents expected to invest in Ghana in 2017 and forth, making Ghana the most popular investment destination in West Africa for new investments. Equity investors find Nigeria very attractive. 32% of total African PE investments between 2012-2017 happened in Nigeria. South Africa is the most sophisticated and developed economy in Africa. Kenya is at the forefront in three critical areas: (1) A conscious and aggressive government program to develop a broadband infrastructure, (2) two crucial innovations – mobile money and crowdsourcing platforms, and (3) the development of a tech incubator and accelerator model for the continent. Liberia will serve as a test market due to its limited population, vast natural resources and structural conditions which allows for e.g. a nationwide roll-out of Unumed’s (Bambwa portfolio company) healthcare IT system. 24 countries in Africa have a population of less than 10 million people.
