CEO Luni Libes on why VC doesn’t fit African SMEs, how Africa Eats built its own market maker, and how founders can list for $100K instead of $10M.

Luni on the structure behind Africa Eats, the missing middle of African capital, and what it takes to support founders across a permanent-capital portfolio.

Editor-in-chief Jaco Maritz talks with Luni about adapting Berkshire’s model for young, fast-growing companies — plus standout bizi East Africa Foods, Paniel Meat Processing, and Ziweto Enterprises.

Why smallholder farmers are poor not from lack of education, but because no one buys what they grow — and how Africa Eats closes that gap.

On organic farming by necessity, logistics as the real early bottleneck, and the long runway to a public listing.

Luni traces Africa Eats back to Fledge, including the founding stories of Geossy and Kalahari Honey.

Luni traces how Africa Eats began, explains what hands-on support for bizi founders actually looks like in practice, and makes the case for why the Berkshire model fits African SMEs better than anything venture capital has tried.

Host Chipo Muwowo gets Luni talking about why food and agriculture — not tech — are Africa’s real opportunity, why venture capital consistently misreads the continent, and how public markets unlock the kind of scale that private capital rarely reaches.

A conversation tracing the portfolio from $1M to $44M in combined revenues, why African trade barriers turn out to be an investor’s advantage, and why there is no charity in this model.

Luni on the strategic decision behind the Stock Exchange of Mauritius listing, how Africa Eats solved the liquidity problem that holds most African public companies back, and the investment philosophy running underneath all of it.

Host Terser Adamu covers the forever-equity model in depth — what it means for founders who never have to fear an exit, how SEMX is opening Africa’s public capital markets to SMEs, and why the Africa Eats bizi have compounded at 50%+ annually for a decade.
