ACCRA, Ghana & Dubai, UAE –July 4, 2025

Liquid Capital, led by Founder and CEO Dr. MacJohn Geraldo, today announced a strategic partnership with FasterCapital through its LaunchUp program. This collaboration aims to accelerate Liquid Capital’s innovative financial services targeting MSMEs across Africa, leveraging FasterCapital’s global platform to scale market impact and secure critical growth capital.

Addressing Africa’s MSME Financing Gap

Africa’s micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) represent a vital engine for economic growth, yet face persistent challenges accessing affordable financing and business development support. With an estimated 90% of MSMEs underserved by traditional financial institutions, the continent’s entrepreneurial ecosystem suffers from capital constraints and limited technical assistance. Liquid Capital’s deep expertise in banking, investment consulting, and MSME incubation uniquely positions the company to bridge these gaps, addressing critical inefficiencies in agri-business and startup finance across Ghana and the broader Pan-African market.
