An exciting week has come to an end—and it could hardly have been more meaningful for us. On November 11, we celebrated the first anniversary of fair equity. The location was chosen deliberately: Mallorca provided the perfect setting to pause, reflect, and look ahead together.
More than an offsite: Space for strategy, learning, and connection
Our anniversary week was shaped by intensive workshops, strategy meetings, and open discussions about the next steps for fair equity. At the same time, there was plenty of room for togetherness: cooking classes, eFoiling, and intentionally planned team-building activities brought us even closer as a team. It was precisely this combination of focus and lightness that made the week so special.
A strong first year
What we have achieved in just one year fills us with deep gratitude and motivation. We successfully completed our first investment and also secured significant donations from supporters who believe in our vision:
moving away from traditional development aid toward investments in African start-ups that create sustainable jobs and enable long-term prosperity.

Inspiring Insights
One of the highlights of the week was the exchange with exceptional founder personalities:
-
Hendrik Reimers, founder of fairafric, openly shared his learnings from building a chocolate company in Ghana—ranging from supply chains and local value creation to entrepreneurial resilience.
-
Stephen Yaw Asamoah gave an impressive account of his journey of scaling a single pharmacy into a fully fledged telemedicine health-tech company: Medpharma
These stories once again demonstrated the potential that entrepreneurial thinking can unlock in Africa—when capital, know-how, and trust come together.
Team, trust, and looking ahead
A heartfelt thank-you goes to our entire team and all supporters who are walking this path with us. Unfortunately, Caroline Flohr was unable to join us due to illness—we missed you dearly. All the more reason to look forward to what’s next: the next offsite is already in the planning.
We are heading into the second year of fair equity full of energy—with a clear strategy, a stronger team spirit, and a firm belief that impact and entrepreneurship belong together.
