LP Peer Group Meet Up, 3rd edition - Bringing together 50+ LPs from across the African investment ecosystem

On April 28th 2026, while the AVCA buzz was building in Nairobi, another kind of gathering was taking place. Investisseurs & Partenaires, FSD Africa and Small Foundation curated the 3rd edition of the LP Peer Group Meet Up, bringing together 50+ LPs from across the African investment ecosystem for a full day of closed-door discussions.

The room was practical and action oriented as we sought to (1) find quick wins and longer term solutions to first time LP constraints, (2) collaborate on sharing data and building together the benchmarks we required as LPs for more transparency of the sector. More to come in a few months on that front.

FrontEnd Ventures was instrumental in mobilizing the Kenyan local pension fund and asset management community, to join us on real discussions about the role PFAs and trustees can play in deepening the local PE/VC industry with domestic capital, acknowledging their structural constraints.

What emerged: a clear roadmap towards our first publication on data/benchmarks with a focus on exits/liquidity, a better understanding of the domestic capital position with Frontend testing one practical initiative to unlock capital from the pensions/trustees.
