mission

Our mission is to be intentional in our pursuit of building generational wealth. We believe that together we can achieve our goals faster than as individuals. We achieve this by building a portfolio of investments that generate market-rate returns as a result of diverse investments.

VISION

Cooperative Economics (Ujamaa)

The Swahili word ujamaa means 'extended family', 'brotherhood'; it asserts that a person becomes a person through the people or community. The spirit of 'others' or 'community' bringing units of families together, and fostering cohesion, love, and service. In the celebration of Kwanzaa, Ujamaa also means to build and maintain our own stores, shops and other businesses and to profit from them together.

What We Are Looking To Fund?

Why Us?
