SAFC connects Chinese founders, operators, and capital with East African growth opportunities — through private gatherings, curated introductions, and a managed network of strategic relationships.
Serious inquiries only.
Scroll
Not a network for everyone. A circle for the few building something real between China and East Africa.
Private business banquets in Nairobi, Shenzhen, and beyond.
Curated introductions between founders, operators, and capital.
A corridor defined by relationship — not transaction.
Who this is for
Founders, operators, and investors seeking real entry into East African markets — not through agents, but through relationships.
Founders and operators building scalable businesses who understand that Chinese capital, manufacturing, and technology require a different kind of introduction.
Trade advisors, DFI professionals, and cross-border operators who facilitate relationships that neither side can build alone.
If you are none of the above, this is probably not for you.
