The missing infrastructure is often the system that makes capital move.
Open Space invests in and finances the operating, digital and physical infrastructure that delivers essential services and supports Africa’s productive economy.
Equity ownership
We acquire, build and scale critical infrastructure platforms with strategic importance, recurring revenues, high switching costs and strong underlying demand.
Structured finance
We build ring-fenced capital vehicles around cash-generating infrastructure assets and projects, connecting them to domestic and global institutional capital.
Investment strategies built to reinforce each other
Equity ownership and structured credit deployed across infrastructure operating platforms, projects and asset-backed investment vehicles.
Equity investments
Owning the platforms that power Africa’s essential infrastructure. We target infrastructure-grade businesses and operating platforms with high barriers to entry, recurring or contracted cash flows, regulatory alignment and strategic importance

Platform architecture, not passive capital.
I
Originate, acquire and anchor around infrastructure platforms and projects.
We originate and invest in infrastructure opportunities with essential demand, identifiable cash flows and the capacity to support long-term financing.
II
Separate operating infrastructure from capital vehicles.
We structure ring-fenced investment vehicles including project SPVs, asset-backed programs, participation structures and blended-finance vehicles.
III
Monetize infrastructure, not consumer acquisition.
We prioritize contractual revenues, usage fees, transaction income, and asset cash flows over growth models dependent primarily on consumer acquisition.

We design capital structures that enable infrastructure sponsors, operators, banks and institutional investors to finance and scale essential assets and services.

Co-Founder & CIO
Amon Munyaneza
Investment architecture, portfolio transformation and capital formation.
Amon Munyaneza is an investor, strategist, and entrepreneur focused on building capital structures and operating platforms that finance Africa’s productive economy, unlock scalable growth, strengthen enterprises, and expand long-term economic ownership.
More
At OSC, Amon leads investment architecture, portfolio transformation, and capital formation, helping convert operating businesses and real-economy cash flows into institutional-grade investment opportunities.
His work reflects a career spent moving between investment, entrepreneurship, and hands-on business transformation. He has advised, invested in, and helped build companies across financial services, mobility, technology, and emerging-market distribution, with particular experience in turning complex operating opportunities into scalable commercial and investment models.
Amon brings an unusual combination of financial discipline and operator thinking. Rather than viewing capital simply as funding, he approaches it as architecture: determining how ownership, incentives, cash flows, risk, and governance can be structured so that enterprises can grow sustainably and attract larger pools of capital.
He holds a Doctor of Business Administration, an MBA in Finance, and graduate training in management, and has worked across Africa, Europe, the United States, and Canada.
Underlying his investment work is a broader conviction that capital should strengthen productive capacity and create enduring ownership. Whether working with infrastructure platforms, growing enterprises, or asset-finance models, Amon’s focus is on building systems in which investment produces more than financial returns – it leaves behind stronger businesses, productive assets, and lasting economic participation.
Let’s finance Africa’s infrastructure future.
