As part of a five-day tour to Ghana, Mirepa Investment Advisors (MIA) was honored to host a 12-member delegation from the Capital Markets and Securities Authority (CMSA) of Tanzania on the second day of their visit.

The session, held at MIA’s office, was chaired by the firm’s Chief Investment Officer, along with the Executive Director and the Head of Legal and Compliance. Together, they provided an in-depth overview of Mirepa’s investment philosophy, operations in private equity and private credit, and its approach to supporting the growth of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Ghana.

The interactive meeting offered the visiting delegation valuable insights into the Ghanaian private capital ecosystem, including regulatory considerations, fund structuring, due diligence processes, risk management, and impact measurement. Discussions also touched on best practices in investor protection, governance, and compliance—key areas of interest for the CMSA as it works to strengthen Tanzania’s institutional capacity in private equity and venture capital regulation.

MIA is pleased to contribute to regional capacity building efforts and looks forward to continued collaboration with peer institutions across the continent.

At Mirepa Investment Advisors, we’re proud to highlight our talented intern analysts who have successfully completed the Venture Capital Analyst Program (V-CAP), an initiative by the Venture Capital Trust Fund (VCTF) and supported by the Ghana Economic Transformation Project (GETP).

The V-CAP program isn’t just a training ground – it’s a strategic pathway to developing top-tier talent in venture capital and private equity.

Our intern analysts – Adam Nuru Adam, Dorcas Kwarteng, Michael Asante, William Boakye-Bandoh and Rosemond Addison – have demonstrated exceptional skills in deal origination, due diligence, financial modeling, and strategic decision-making.

Key Highlights of the V-CAP Program: 

1. Sponsored by the World Bank under the Ghana Economic Transformation Project through VCTF
2. Designed to bridge talent gaps in the VC/PE industry in Ghana
3. Provides hands-on experience with leading investment firms 
4. Focuses on developing future industry specialists

We are excited to continue supporting these emerging talents and contributing to the growth of Ghana’s venture capital ecosystem.

Mirepa Investment Advisors recently had the privilege of hosting four of our esteemed Limited Partners (LPs) on a site visit to MoringaConnect Inc. (DBA True Moringa), an innovative agribusiness making remarkable strides in sustainable agriculture and rural development. The visit provided a unique opportunity to witness firsthand the impactful work being done by MoringaConnect Inc. and to deepen the partnership between Mirepa Investment Advisors, our LPs, and one of our key portfolio companies.
We were honored to have representatives from GESOPS (The Ghana Education Service Occupational Pension Scheme), Venture Capital Trust Fund, AXIS PENSION TRUST LTD., and Databank Group (Databank Asset Management Services Ltd-DAMSEL) join us for this insightful visit.

The Site Visit Experience
The visit to MoringaConnect’s Kua farm and factory in Nsawam provided an in-depth look at both the agricultural and production aspects of the business. Our LPs engaged with the dedicated team behind MoringaConnect, gaining insights into the operational processes that contribute to the company’s success.
It was inspiring to see the company’s integrated approach to creating value across the supply chain—from supporting local farmers to producing premium organic products for international markets. The visit underscored the alignment between MIA’s investment philosophy and MoringaConnect’s mission of creating sustainable economic impact.
