Sisal Frontier Strategies

Transforming emerging market business initiatives into actionable impact.

Get to know us

We work at the intersection of technology and the circular economy to drive inclusive market systems development in Sub-Saharan Africa.

In any growing enterprise, thinking and acting strategically involves a latticework of iterative analysis and change management initiatives. In frontier economies, the challenges of bringing a product or service to market are often amplified.

We know.

Let us help you translate your big ideas into a tangible bottom line.

When running a business, you can often feel as though all the competing demands of day-to-day operations prevent you from getting your head above the weeds. How, then, are you to stay on track with the broader vision you had for the company?

Sisal knows that the success of early stage entrepreneurs depends on their ability to define their own unique context, and to tailor their initiatives to suit that context. This can be especially challenging in unstructured environments with minimal resources.

We provide advisory services to companies looking to navigate these markets in Sub-Saharan Africa, helping them leverage the best tools to understand their challenges, examine the full spectrum of choices, and execute their ideas to create the biggest impact.

How we can engage

"As the winners of Société Générale’s Pan-African Innovation Lab competition, the Mosabi team benefited from an intensive four-week acceleration program in Nairobi. Among an array of masterclasses facilitated by industry specialists in innovation and company-building, Sisal Frontier Strategies stood out as a transformative part of the program. In fact, we ranked their classes the best of the lot! Managing to accurately capture the value of our assets – both tangible and intangible – is no easy feat for an emerging market fintech. Sisal’s masterclasses in business modeling and financial analysis helped us translate theory and design into practical decisions for our company strategy. Over the months since the accelerator Mosabi has really taken a leap forward in a lot of ways – and we value Sisal’s mentorship for being an important catalyst!"
