- ABOUT
Powering Africa’s energy transition with shared knowledge
We originate, structure, build and monitor energy infrastructure for critical facilities – and teach the ecosystem how that work actually gets done.
Your recommended learning path
Each step builds on the last — no prior finance background required.
- INSIDE THE COMMUNITY
Learn the sector before you back it
Open to everyone. Learn energy, project finance, diligence, and deal structuring through practical, operator-led sessions and live projects—then invest with confidence.
- INSIDE THE COMMUNITY
The power gap is a money problem too
600 million people in Africa live without steady power. Hospitals run fridges and theatres on diesel. Businesses burn about 23 billion dollars a year fuelling generators in sub-Saharan Africa. The healthcare financing gap alone is 2.6 billion dollars across seven countries.
The projects that would fix this are often too small for big infrastructure funds and too scattered for a bank to price. So they don’t get built. That is the gap Tribes works in.

Why it matters
Every deal that fails for want of shared knowledge is infrastructure that never gets built.
