About Us
COHERA CAPITAL, derived from the Latin word “cohaerere” meaning “to grow together”, is the investment and funding arm of the Enovate Group. Cohera’s role is to mobilise and manage capital with purpose — deploying funds into projects that have passed Enovate’s stringent risk and performance benchmarks. Its investment philosophy is rooted in coherence, collaboration, and capital stewardship — ensuring that every rand invested is underpinned by trust, accountability, and sustainable value creation.
Cohera Capital NPC – Reg. No. 2021/365471/08, partners with funders, institutional investors, development financiers, and private capital groups to structure and secure high-impact funding in sectors such as commerce and retail, agriculture, and sustainability-driven projects.
Our investment opportunities range from R25 million to R100 million, through either grants, equity, or debt finance – all assessed with rigorous due-diligence and backed by Enovate’s operational intelligence and oversight.
Cohera Capital embodies a philosophy of continuous flow, regeneration, and long-term prosperity. Every project is evaluated for its sustainability, impact, and ability to contribute meaningfully to South Africa’s economic advancement.
Our Purpose
Cohera Capital was founded to channel investment into projects that matter – initiatives that create jobs, restore value, strengthen supply chains, and drive sustainable economic growth.
Our Mission
To redefine how development capital is deployed in South Africa — integrating intelligence, governance, and measurable impact to create a transparent and sustainable investment environment.
Our Vision
To build Africa’s most trusted ecosystem for integrated business intelligence and responsible funding, empowering investors and enterprises to grow with confidence, clarity, and conscience.
Strategic Positioning
Together, Enovate and Cohera Capital represent the full investment lifecycle — from concept to capitalisation, from risk to reward.
- Enovate identifies, structures, and validates opportunities through due diligence and financial modelling.
- Cohera Capital channels investment into these validated opportunities, managing financial partnerships, investor relations, and portfolio oversight.
Our philosophy is simple yet uncompromising: true success is achieved when purpose, performance, and integrity align. We believe that funding should never be a handout – it must be a catalyst for growth, innovation, and resilience. This integrated approach ensures a closed-loop of accountability, where intelligence drives investment and investment reinforces intelligence — a model built for long-term sustainability rather than short-term gain.
