Women's entrepreneurship for sustainable economic and social growth.

We invest in companies founded or led by women, in organizations where at least 50% of management positions are held by women, or in companies whose activities strengthen women's economic empowerment.

Thanks to the technical support provided by the WIC Academy, the presence of experienced WIC members on the Boards of Directors, the monitoring committees led by WIC Capital, and the business network of the Women’s Investment Club, we reduce operational risks and sustainably strengthen the financial and social performance of the companies in our portfolio.

What WIC Capital brings to
your business

Who are we ?

Launched in March 2019 by the Women’s Investment Club Senegal, WIC Capital is the first investment fund dedicated exclusively to women-led businesses in Francophone Africa. It mobilizes institutional and private investors, both local and international, who pool their resources to support the growth of women-owned micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs).

The fund intervenes through equity and quasi-equity investments in companies across all sectors, founded by women, at least 50% owned by women, or with a predominantly female management team.

Our mission is clear: to unlock the full potential of women-led businesses in Francophone Africa through appropriate financing, structured technical support, and tailored guidance. WIC Capital also acts as a collaborative platform between public and private stakeholders to sustainably structure investment in women's entrepreneurship.

“We were a small group of friends who decided, on March 8, International Women’s Day 2015, to launch an initiative that would have an impact on the lives of women in Africa. Hence the idea of ??an investment fund dedicated to women entrepreneurs. We mobilized the savings of more than 80 women and the investments of various partners to put them at the service of the development of women’s entrepreneurship in the region.”
