ABOUT EVERSTRONG
Founded in 2015, Everstrong is a US-owned infrastructure asset manager with offices in the US, Kenya and South Africa. Everstrong aims to support development on the African continent to deliver critical infrastructure significantly improving the populations’ welfare.
Our responsible investment philosophy
Everstrong Capital was founded with the objective of achieving attractive financial returns for our funders through investment in the energy & power, transportation, communication, water, healthcare and housing sectors in sub-Saharan Africa. These projects naturally aim to deliver critical infrastructure to populations whose welfare stands to improve significantly through it. They also capitalize on the substantial opportunities that exist in emerging markets. We are confident that by identifying promising projects and pairing them with adequate and sustainable funding, we can deliver strong returns while providing the tools that enable social and economic growth:
Access to reliable, affordable energy can facilitate education, health, comfort, security and productivity
Safe and efficient transportation infrastructure can expand access to employment, education and healthcare opportunities
Modern communications networks underpin economic development by streamlining access to information
Our concept of responsibility extends beyond the inherent benefit of the assets themselves. Everstrong is committed to operating in a manner that respects the dignity, autonomy and needs of all its key stakeholders. We do this by assessing all material financial and non-financial considerations throughout our investment lifecycle. This equips our decision makers with a more complete understanding of the risks and opportunities present in our pipeline and portfolio. We think it’s also the right thing to do.
OUR TEAM
Superior teamwork begins with superior team members. Collectively, the Everstrong team has worked on hundreds of projects and organized billions of dollars for specific projects and infrastructure funds. Our team members have extensive experience developing and financing infrastructure companies in Africa, the USA and Europe.
Our top-level relationships with leading global construction, engineering and development firms provide advanced project opportunities in electric power-generation, energy, storage, water, communications and transportation. These relationships also offer a differentiated source of opportunities and the ability to assemble infrastructure assets in a manner that minimizes investor risk.
Everstrong Capital, the original sponsor of Milele Energy.
Milele Energy secures institutional capital. Miele Energy, a clean energy infrastructure developer and operator has plans to set up its headquarters in Nairobi and has secured substantive funding from Gemcorp Capital Management as it seeks to provide clean, cost-effective electricity across sub-Saharan Africa.
The funds will aid in the acquisition of a significant stake in Africa’s largest wind farm, Kenya’s Lake Turkana Wind Power Project, supporting low-cost renewable energy to Kenya’s grid.
As the original sponsor of Milele Energy, Everstrong Capital is proud of Milele’s accomplishments and recent announcement.
In Everything We Do, We are Guided by an Unwavering Commitment to Integrity and Ethical Conduct.
CREATING VALUE THROUGH ASSET ASSEMBLY
Everstrong’s asset assembly process allows us to quickly prioritize the long list of potential opportunities available and focus efforts on using capital to tactically remove the barriers to initial or incremental revenue generation in assets.
RISK MANAGEMENT
Everstrong only invests in assets with clear line of site to revenue production. In addition to its singular focus on later stage development, Everstrong shares risk with its development partners while focusing on protected assets where Everstrong can achieve an exclusive interest.
UNIQUE TRANSACTIONS
These ingredients of our firm allow us to present a differentiated portfolio of middle market infrastructure assets that are neither subject to the type of bidding competition as is common with more mature assets or many of the risks common to typical infrastructure project development.
