Africa New Energies has a mission to improve the lives of millions of sub-Saharan Africans by delivering them electricity in an environmentally responsible way. The company is an innovative oil and gas exploration business. We start with a huge asset: a drilling concession in Namibia in territory the size of Wales which contains 32 potential natural gas and oil fields. A conservative estimate is that there are 1.6 billion barrels of oil in the rocks there. If we can prove that the energy is there and can be economically accessed we will have increased our value 600 fold and be sitting on blocks valued at $6.5bn/£4bn.

Artists Ahead is a company that enables music rights holders to retain a greater proportion of the royalties generated by their music and protect their copyright. They argue that music royalties generate around £2 billion in revenue each year in the UK, but many artists receive a very small proportion of the income generated. Artists Ahead aims to change this and charge around 8% of royalties with the rest going to the artist. The platform collects both recording and publishing royalties, uses blockchain to provide proof of ownership, and holds all digital assets and royalty data in one place, accessible to the customer on any device. The company claims that its business model is transparent. They intend their business to reach maturity in 2025. It anticipates the purchase of its brand by potential buyers as a foreseeable exit plan. Artists Ahead also envisage an IPO permitting investors to trade their shares as another exit opportunity.
