The Story We Rarely Tell About Investing in Africa

When we started Borderless, we imagined a world where Africans in the diaspora could co-own the continent’s future.

That vision is now taking shape.

We’ve onboarded 8 active investment collectives, from real estate to venture capital. All built with great structure, transparency and solid compliance measures.

Every collective on Borderless undergoes a rigorous due diligence process before they’re onboarded. We have regulatory coverage from the FCA in the UK (as an appointed representative of a regulated firm).

The Story We Rarely Tell About Investing in Africa

Most conversations about investing in Africa begin and end with risk. But the real story is about resilience, creativity and people turning belief into ownership.

Like Chidi Ashley, founder of Luxe Tribes.

She’s now building Nuru Marrakesh, a luxury hotel in Morocco that’s raised $3.2M in committed capital through Raise by Borderless, our solution for founders turning early community support into clean, compliant funding. It’s proof that Africa isn’t short of investible opportunities, it’s short of access and connection. That’s what we’re fixing.

Watch our conversation with Chidi as she shares her journey, lessons, and how she’s building something extraordinary for Africa’s future.

Disclaimer: Don’t invest unless you’re prepared to lose all the money you invest. This is a high-risk investment, and you are unlikely to be protected if something goes wrong. Read More
