Why the Florida Community?

You are not just investors.
You are the first believers.

Diaspora investors bring more than capital. They bring trust, networks, and community credibility that no institutional investor can match.

01
You understand the problem firsthand
You've watched family members struggle with informal markets, unverified dealers, and zero financing access. Carvan solves what you've seen up close.
02
First mover advantage — maximum upside
Seed-stage investors carry the most risk — and earn the most reward. 12% at this stage is rare access that institutional investors will pay far more for later.
03
Carvan CA serves your community directly
You don't just invest in Uganda. Carvan CA lets diaspora in Florida buy vehicles for family back home — you use the platform you own.
04
Pan-African ambition, community roots
Carvan expands to Kenya, Nigeria, and beyond. Your $500 today is a stake in a Pan-African infrastructure company — not just a local startup.

"I built Carvan for people like you — Africans who left home but never stopped caring about it. Your investment is not charity. It is infrastructure ownership. And it will outlast all of us."
