Our Mission
We don’t just invest in African businesses, we will grow, scale with strategy, and connect to the world. Every move we make is intentional. Our focus is to build enterprises that serve Africa and thrive globally.
Let’s be clear: we’re not a charity. We’re profit-driven. But we believe profit and purpose can co-exist. That’s why 10% of every dollar earned goes straight back into local development, from education and infrastructure to entrepreneurship and job creation across the continent.
Because when we grow, the people grow with us. That’s the kind of impact we’re here to make.
Why Nyle?_
We are led by a proven investor with deep experience in emerging markets. Our operations
follow global standards with legal and tax partners. With teams in Ethiopia, Kenya, South Africa
and soon Morocco and Ghana, we stay close to local opportunities. Ten percent of our revenue is reinvested
into infrastructure, education, and jobs. While we focus on Africa, we also back global ventures
led by Africans.
What We Offer
Trade missions for investors across the continent
Tax and legal advisory for investors
Training and workshops for founders and funders
Pitch deck support for African businesses
The Founder
Kanessa Muluneh is the visionary serial entrepreneur and impact investor steering Nyle’s mission forward.
Kanessa Muluneh is a serial entrepreneur and investor with a track record of building and scaling businesses across diverse sectors, from tech and healthcare to fashion and manufacturing. Born in Ethiopia and raised in the Netherlands, she brings a unique blend of local insight and global strategy to Nyle. By the age of 21, she had already exited her first venture, a telehealth software company, and has since led six businesses, four of which achieved successful exits totaling over $9.5 million. Today, Kanessa leads Nyle with a clear mission: to unlock Africa’s investment potential through profitable, high-impact ventures. Her experience as a founder, operator, and investor makes her the driving force behind Nyle’s bold, execution-first approach to investing across the continent.
Africa’s Rise
Africa is set to grow at 3.9 percent in 2025. Over 20 countries expect over 5 percent GDP growth. A new trade deal across the continent could unlock over 3 trillion dollars by 2035. Private equity in Africa could hit 901 million dollars next year.
Built for Scale
We aim for long-term growth. We do not seek fast exits. Our companies get shared support in finance, tech, and marketing. This makes it easier to grow and succeed.
