DOB Equity, a Dutch family-backed impact investor focusing on investments in East Africa, plans to acquire stakes in at least three companies this year amid falling private equity transactions in the region.
The planned investments are in electric mobility, insurance and health-tech industries, Co-Chief Executive Officer Saskia van der Mast said in an interview. The transactions range from $250,000 to more than $5 million, with shareholding of 10% to 49%.
