Samakab Hashi brings nearly two decades of experience investing across developed and emerging markets, including deploying roughly $1 billion in private equity deals at Allstate Investments before moving to early-stage venture at Lateral Frontiers Fund, giving him an uncommon mix of large-cap institutional PE and frontier VC experience. He invests from Nairobi as an East African native who built his career in London and the Middle East, positioning him as a locally rooted yet globally trained investor who can translate between African founders and international institutional capital.
