Supporting African solutions for Africa.

THE MHCI WAY

We are a unique Human Capital Consulting firm, offering innovative solutions to Startups & SMEs looking to build clarity & competitive advantage through purposeful work culture. Our mission is to build human capital solutions for African Startups and SMEs as well as the people who work for them.

Our particular focus on Startups is fuelled by our commitment to plug a gap in the ecosystem. Startups rise and fall off two main elements- organisation and Finance. While VCs solve the Finance, there is little focus on protecting the huge investment via strong and intentional design and culture.

We work with Incubators, Founders, Investors and Visionaries to think through and design sustainable teams, processes and business solutions. We function as dedicated strategic resource planning partners calling on our strong People Management and Entrepreneurship Training background to provide creative and divergent People and Strategy solutions that feel organic to those who work for them.

Our culture is defined by collaboration, intellectual integrity, and a commitment to rigorous methodology. We engage professionals who blend outstanding technical expertise with deep industry knowledge and a passion for collaborative problem-solving.

Culture Definition

Using our S.C.O.U.T.E.D.
