We bring Capital Infrastructure, and the institutional readiness,Our partners bring the scale

The investment opportunity.

Arise Funds is actively deploying blended capital into workforce development and technology companies globally. If you are a DFI, impact foundation, family office, or government body with a mandate in workforce, technology, or economic development - this is what engagement looks like.

We invest in early-stage workforce development operators and technology platforms in high-growth markets - typically at pre-institutional-capital stage, with active operations and an employer-integrated model.

The Instrument

Blended Capital Facility

We structure blended capital vehicles combining concessional first-loss capital, income-linked human capital financing, and equity. Capital is patient — structured around employer pipeline depth and verified employment outcomes, not arbitrary program timelines.

Current Raise

Seeking Aligned Capital Partners

Arise Funds is currently in active conversation with DFIs, impact foundations, and family offices. We are building a blended capital facility to accelerate the ICBM Nigeria deployment and fund expansion into new markets. Minimum engagement and terms are discussed directly — request the Investor Brief to begin that conversation.

Current Focus

ICBM Nigeria – 50,000 Employment Target

Our flagship deployment — currently operating across Abuja and Enugu — is the proof-of-model that anchors our institutional capital raise. Cohort 1 employment confirmed. Cohort 2 active. 50,000 target by 2029.

For Family Offices

A Founder-Led Fund with a Proven Model

If you are a family office looking for impact that is measurable, a founder you can meet, and a model you can visit — Arise Funds is built for that conversation. You can see the campuses, meet the graduates, and review the outcomes data directly. Capital is patient, terms are discussed personally, and every serious inquiry is answered by Aisha Lewis directly.

For Sovereign & Government Capital

The National Economic Case

Every ICBM graduate represents a tax-contributing, formally employed citizen. At 50,000 graduates, the model generates measurable GDP contribution, reduces youth unemployment, and builds a nationally competitive digital workforce.

What We Look For

Aligned Capital Partners

We are building toward long-term institutional partnerships with DFIs, development banks, and sovereign wealth funds. If you deploy patient capital with an impact mandate — request our Investor Brief.
