The Deal Share Platform is a closed, investor-only community where, as a social investor, you can mobilise and deploy capital for your investments by accessing an investable deal pipeline or endorsing your upcoming deals to seek co-investors to partner with, support, or co-invest alongside you. This brings together like-minded investors to crowd in the right capital at the right time to grow and scale impact opportunities.

We host an annual Impact Conference designed to strengthen the African impact ecosystem. With the support of our partners and sponsors, our inaugural 2024 conference and the 2025 edition welcomed over 800 attendees from around the world.

Partnership opportunities include: Joining as a sponsor, strategic or knowledge partner, hosting a side event or session.
