Platform architecture, not passive capital.
I
Acquire or anchor around cash-flowing platforms.
We target systemically important nodes with predictable transaction or credit cash flows and the ability to support structured-finance layering.
II
Separate operating infrastructure from capital vehicles.
We create ring-fenced structures around operating assets — ABS programmes, SPVs, participation notes and blended-finance vehicles.
III
Monetise infrastructure, not consumer acquisition.
We focus on participation economics, transaction fees and settlement margins: infrastructure toll-road models rather than consumer-wallet float.
Built in Africa. Structured for institutional capital.
Open Space Capital is a Rwanda-incorporated investment-management platform headquartered in Kigali. OSC operates across structured finance arranging and operator-led private equity turnarounds.
We design the capital and infrastructure frameworks that allow partner banks or transport operators to scale.
“We invest where operating intelligence, financial structure and productive infrastructure meet.”

Co-Founder & CIO
Amon Munyaneza
Investment architecture, portfolio transformation and capital formation.
Amon Munyaneza is an investor, strategist, and entrepreneur focused on building capital structures and operating platforms that finance Africa’s productive economy, unlock scalable growth, strengthen enterprises, and expand long-term economic ownership.
More
At OSC, Amon leads investment architecture, portfolio transformation, and capital formation, helping convert operating businesses and real-economy cash flows into institutional-grade investment opportunities.
His work reflects a career spent moving between investment, entrepreneurship, and hands-on business transformation. He has advised, invested in, and helped build companies across financial services, mobility, technology, and emerging-market distribution, with particular experience in turning complex operating opportunities into scalable commercial and investment models.
Amon brings an unusual combination of financial discipline and operator thinking. Rather than viewing capital simply as funding, he approaches it as architecture: determining how ownership, incentives, cash flows, risk, and governance can be structured so that enterprises can grow sustainably and attract larger pools of capital.
He holds a Doctor of Business Administration, an MBA in Finance, and graduate training in management, and has worked across Africa, Europe, the United States, and Canada.
Underlying his investment work is a broader conviction that capital should strengthen productive capacity and create enduring ownership. Whether working with infrastructure platforms, growing enterprises, or asset-finance models, Amon’s focus is on building systems in which investment produces more than financial returns – it leaves behind stronger businesses, productive assets, and lasting economic participation.
Let’s build Africa’s mobility future.
