We represent a number of external entities who have no footprint in East Africa. From online product developers to NGO's we will act as a presence on your behalf, attending meetings, until viability reaches a point where we call the opportunity owner in. (We have the relationships to do the same for all of Sub Saharan Africa with a Francophone specialist)
We have extensive experience in setting up new ventures on behalf of others. Company registration, bank accounts, VAT registration and compliance, premises, initial recruitment, building market presence, developing viability and pipeline, marketing all the way to strong recurring revenue.
We encourage people from any background with good ideas but no vehicle for delivery to come to the table. Everyone has had a good idea at some stage, maybe and app, an event or a project, etc. but did not have the vehicle, money, knowledge or time to get it off the ground. You could simply agree to a royalty or you can be involved in the entire build. When you become a member of the HERD you benefit from multiple other skills from other members.
We have been involved in a number of community and conservation projects in remote locations on behalf of Oil & Gas, NGO, UN, Funds, etc. Having local knowledge and communication capability is key to safety and delivery. High risk and low infrastructure locations require specialist planning and knowledge. We can set up planning, logistics, risk management, communications allowing for time on the ground to be used most effectively. Anything from building a new school to enabling local content projects.
If you have people travelling anywhere in SSA we can arrange for pre travel risk assessments, logistics, communications, tracking and live monitoring, medical and evacuation, hard and soft support where required using our relationships with proven service providers.
Through our relationships we have been involved in infrastructure projects ranging from road construction, schools, medical facilities, site housing, project offices. This includes local community liaison and local content management.
