About Brainspot
Financial structuring and strategic advisory for African institutions
We help organisations turn good projects into investable ones, and see them through to funding.
Who we are
A Nairobi advisory firm with a financing-first view
Brainspot Advisory is a boutique advisory firm based in Westlands, Nairobi. We work with businesses, financial institutions, governments, foundations and development organisations to assess what their projects need, structure appropriate financing, and prepare them to engage the right funding partners.
Every project has a financing need, whether it is commercial, developmental or charitable. Our job is to find the practical pathway from concept to financing readiness, across debt, grants, equity and blended finance, and to support the strategy, delivery and assurance work around it.
Our legal and tax practices sit alongside this work, helping clients with transaction documentation, compliance and tax considerations.
Our vision
A future where every viable project in Africa can find the financing it needs to be delivered.
Our mission
To help institutions and project sponsors structure, prepare and secure the right mix of finance, and to strengthen the strategy and delivery that make their projects succeed.
Why Brainspot
How we work with you
Financing first
We start from the capital question: what the project needs, which instruments fit, and what funders will need to see.
Across all instruments
Debt, grants, equity and blended finance in one conversation, so the structure fits the project rather than a single product.
Strategy to assurance
Strategy, fundraising, capacity building, measurement and assurance support, with legal and tax expertise alongside.
