Our vision
An Africa where real, stable growth is the expectation, not the exception.
We see an Africa whose business and industry are systematically revolutionised. Nigeria is where the work starts. Africa is the ambition.
Our conviction
A future where business and industry are systematically revolutionised is more exciting for Nigeria and Africa than one where they are not. Exceptional dealmaking and agile execution are what drive that revolution.
Industries change through transactions: capital meeting capable businesses, structured well and closed fast. “Systematically” means repeatedly, through a playbook applied deal after deal.
Our mission
To originate, structure, close and back the deals that move industries.
Through the steady current of many and the catalytic force of a few, delivered with exceptional craft and agile execution.
Originate
Finding the businesses, buyers, partners and investors that belong in the same room.
Structure
Price, form, tax and protections, drafted by the team that negotiates them.
Close
Diligence, approvals and completion, run to a promise of speed.
Back
From 2027, our own capital alongside our clients’.
How industries change
The Current and the Elephants.
Industries are transformed in two ways. We pursue both, and each feeds the other.
Rare catalytic deals that reshape a sector alone.
- What it demands
- Patience, reputation, deep structuring, coalition-building
- Time horizon
- Often years
- What it builds
- The profile that brings more of the Current in
Three markers of a good deal
Every deal is tested against three questions.
01 · Belief
Real, stable growth
Does it prove that inflation-beating growth is attainable?
02 · Productivity
Trapped value unlocked
Does it release productivity, even inside established corporates, more efficiently?
03 · Capital Trust
A better path to returns
Does it lead investors to place capital with us because they have seen a better way?
Where it started
Time-to-exit shaped the outcome.
Working on the sell side of a ₦10.73bn oil and gas merger in 2021, and seeing how time-to-exit shaped the result, settled our founder’s conviction: exceptional dealmaking and agile execution hold the key to Nigeria’s and Africa’s prosperity. Staxxe was built to deliver both.
Operating principles
How we work.
01
Our name on every deal.
We only take on deals we would be proud to be publicly associated with, and, in time, invest in ourselves.
02
Speed with discipline.
A response within 24 hours, a scoping proposal within 5 business days, and a term sheet or teaser within 30 days of mandate.
03
Discretion first.
Client information, deal terms and investor identities stay confidential unless you say otherwise.
04
Aligned incentives.
A success component wherever the deal allows, and every conflict of interest disclosed before we engage.
05
Real over nominal.
We judge outcomes in inflation-adjusted terms, for clients and for ourselves.
What we decline
Unclear or unverifiable source of funds, sanctioned parties, and structures built for tax evasion rather than legitimate planning.
