Investment Architecture

Five models for deploying personal capital on your terms.

LAN members commit to investing within a two-year cycle, choosing a contribution schedule that fits their cashflow while maintaining the documentation, diligence, and governance standards expected of professional angel investors in Ghana.

Not every member invests the same way. Some prefer steady monthly allocations; others deploy larger tickets into high-conviction deals. All models operate within LAN's shared architecture — selection committees, term sheets, and portfolio tracking — and can be combined with syndication through GAIN when deals require larger rounds.

12 contributions / year

Monthly Model

Regular monthly allocations that build a diversified portfolio of women-led ventures over time, reducing timing risk and building investment discipline.

Best for: Emerging angels establishing rhythm and exposure across multiple deals.

4 contributions / year

Quarterly Model

Quarterly deployments aligned with earnings cycles, board reporting, and LAN's periodic deal meetups for rebalancing and new opportunities.

Best for: Senior professionals balancing liquidity with consistent participation.

2 contributions / year

Semi-Annual Model

Two larger entries per year into high-conviction deals that have passed LAN's full selection and bootcamp pipeline.

Best for: Operators and executives with concentrated capital windows.

1 contribution / year

Annual Model

A single focused deployment into a chosen venture per cycle, supported by full LAN diligence, documentation, and post-investment mentorship.

Best for: Strategic allocators making one deliberate commitment each year.

Flexible

Bulk / As & When Model

Opportunistic deployment into specific deals — including follow-on rounds and syndicated tickets — while remaining within LAN governance and GAIN co-investment structures.

Best for: Experienced investors leading or joining syndicated rounds.

Instruments

LAN uses market-standard early-stage instruments adapted to Ghanaian legal and regulatory context. Terms are documented before capital is deployed, with valuation reviews by the selection committee.

Convertible notes & SAFEs

Convertible instruments with defined conversion triggers, valuation caps, and discounts — suited to pre-revenue and early-revenue ventures where priced equity rounds are premature.

Preference shares

Equity with preferred rights, liquidation preferences, and governance provisions documented upfront — for ventures ready for structured cap tables and board participation.

Structured debt

Debt instruments with defined tenor, interest, and repayment schedules — for revenue-generating ventures or businesses with predictable cashflows seeking non-dilutive capital.
