Who We Are

Built for the African
growth story.

We don't just advise — we embed. Prospira works inside your business to fix what's broken, build what's missing, and position you for the capital you deserve.

Founded in Nairobi, Prospira was born from a simple observation: too many high-potential East African businesses fail not because of bad ideas, but because of structural gaps, weak financial narratives, and poor investor-readiness. We bridge that gap with discipline, rigor, and genuine partnership.

Common Questions

Frequently asked

What types of businesses does Prospira work with?

We work with growth-stage SMEs and startups across East Africa — primarily in Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania — operating in sectors such as agribusiness, energy, technology, and financial services. If you have an established business seeking capital or structural clarity, we're likely a good fit.

How long does a typical engagement take?

Fundraising mandates typically run 6–12 months depending on document readiness and business complexity. Restructuring and consulting engagements can be scoped as short as 3 months. We always agree on milestones and timelines before starting.

Do you sign NDAs before starting?

Yes — always. Confidentiality is a core value. We sign NDAs at the very first substantive engagement before any sensitive information is shared. Your business data, strategy, and story are never disclosed to third parties without explicit consent.

Can Prospira help with businesses outside Kenya?

Absolutely. While we are headquartered in Nairobi, our advisory work spans East Africa and we have supported clients in Uganda and Tanzania. We also engage with international investors and partners, making us well-positioned for cross-border mandates.

Which engagement model is right for my business?

That depends on your stage and needs. Installment works well for early-stage businesses managing cash flow. Direct Consultation is ideal if you need intensive, hands-on support. Equity stake is a long-term alignment model for businesses where we believe deeply in the potential. We'll discuss this during our first meeting.
