African-first AI, built and backed.
We build across an ownership spectrum (owned, co-built, powered-by, or open) and spin out the winners. Impact OS leads the portfolio as our flagship, alongside Erisit, Chimbuko, and SkillsForge Africa. Everything here is claimed at its real stage, and open to funders and partners who want to build alongside us.
Ownership is a dial we set per build.
We choose the mode per build, so a partner's distribution and capital work for you, while we keep the reusable moat: engines, the studio brand, and the body of proof. Every build is an Afri Inspa build.
Owned & co-built
We build and own it, or co-own with a partner who brings distribution and capital, then spin out the winners.
Powered-by
We build a reusable engine that many partners can build on; they ship the apps and license the capability.
Build-for & open
Work-for-hire that leaves you the product and us reusable components, or open-source that unlocks grants and sets a standard.
What we're building and backing.
Each claimed at its real stage. No vaporware.
