Fund & Portfolio Support
Duara works alongside venture funds, SME funds, and funds-of-funds across East Africa to strengthen the businesses already in their portfolio — so investment theses actually play out on the ground.
Start a ConversationWhat We Deliver
We've delivered this work directly for venture and SME funds, and as a subcontract delivery partner on technical assistance facilities for funds-of-funds.
Direct, hands-on work with founders and leadership teams inside portfolio companies — vision alignment, operational traction, and healthy teams that can actually execute.
For funds-of-funds running a technical assistance facility, we design and deliver the programme — reaching underlying fund managers and their portfolios, not just the fund itself.
Structured visibility into portfolio health — where companies are strong, where they're stuck, and what intervention actually moves the numbers.
Who We Work With
For venture and SME funds, we act as an embedded operating partner — turning investment theses into performance on the ground.
For funds-of-funds running a technical assistance facility, we deliver portfolio support at scale, across multiple underlying fund managers.
For the businesses receiving that capital, we bring the same Vision, Traction, and Healthy Team work we deliver directly to advisory clients.
Won a mandate but need capacity to deliver it at scale? We subcontract under your brand and never compete for the client relationship.
Let's Talk
Whether you manage a fund directly or run a technical assistance facility across several — we'd like to understand where the portfolio is stuck.
