ABOUT US
A Capital Idea is a Johannesburg-based strategy consultancy assisting clients aiming to attract investment capital and develop strong stakeholder relationships.
To achieve their goals, organisations need capital – whether they are listed corporates, unlisted businesses or non-profit organisations.
We can help. A Capital Idea brings insight, experience and fresh perspectives to investor and donor relations on the African continent.
The challenges we solve for clients often fall into three areas:
-
We help companies to grow investor and media understanding of the investment case, in order to drive value.
-
We assist non-profit organisations to attract and form relations with funders, improving sustainability and impact.
-
We help social development funds and programmes to improve and publicise their impact by assisting beneficiary organisations to drive performance, monitoring and reporting on targets.
The consultancy is complemented by associations with a range of organisations in governance, digital communications, corporate finance and legal services.
