Today, I'm speaking with Nimrod Gerber, Managing Partner of Vital Capital, a private equity firm that is redefining impact investing in emerging markets, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Vital Capital focuses on providing essential services such as healthcare, food production, water, and sustainable infrastructure, often through "overlooked opportunities" – greenfield projects that carry higher risks but also promise financial returns and deliver meaningful societal impact.

With over $400 million assets under management, Vital Capital has made a significant impact, improving the lives of more than 22 million people by providing first-time access to critical resources like clean water and healthcare. Their investments have also created nearly 65,000 jobs and supported over 50,000 smallholder farmers.

In addition to Africa, Vital Capital has extended its reach to other emerging markets, including India, where they’ve focused on rural water access projects serving millions, and Latin America, bringing their expertise to diverse regions with complex challenges.

Nimrod’s journey from managing agricultural projects in Israel to becoming a leader in global impact investing spans two decades and over 28 countries. His hands-on experience enables him to navigate challenging greenfield investments that many others might pass up.

Join me as we discuss how Nimrod and his team are using their operational expertise to identify high-impact investments that are transforming lives in Africa, India, and beyond.
