SPARKSPROJECT

The firm

About us

SPARKS PROJECT is a private infrastructure for mobilising and monitoring capital for West African SMEs. A financial engineering and investment advisory firm based in Dakar, active across the eight WAEMU countries, we structure SMEs’ financing transactions, present them to the right financiers, and monitor the investment once it is made.

Our ambition

Legible companies, informed investors, investments monitored over time.

Rigour

We decline more files than we present. Our selectivity is what investors buy.

Field

Our analysis starts from real value chains, not other people’s reports. We go and see.

Alignment

No funds pass through us, our interests are disclosed, our fees written down before we start. Trust is built on transparency.

The team

A tight-knit team, convictions we stand by, and a network spanning the whole investment chain in West Africa.

Mor Diop THIAW

Founder & Managing Director

An entrepreneur and financier based in Dakar, specialising in financial engineering and investment. He founded SPARKS PROJECT after observing, file after file, that financing refusals owed more to what was undocumented than to what was unsound.
