Our Path Forward in the Heart of Africa
In 2019, founder Tita Bofangu launched TIBO Enterprises to drive enterprise and growth in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Half a decade later, the company has built strategic partnerships and acquired interests in both emerging and established businesses, creating lasting impact across the DRC.
A QUICK SUMMARY
Founded: 2019
Head Quarters: Atlanta, GA
Operations: Republic Democratic of Congo
Portfolio Net-value: US$19.5M across 5 companies.
Current Activities: Aquaculture, Transportation, Hospitality, Tourism, Food Manufacturing, Entertainment, and Environmental.
In 2019 during the Covid-19 epidemic, from his home office, the founder set out to build something different: a company that doesn’t just invest, but creates and operates businesses across multiple sectors in the DRC.
This vision became TIBO Enterprises in early 2020, a hybrid operating company that has grown into a small multinational conglomerate, owning and running businesses in real estate, agriculture, tourism, and environmental markets. The guiding principle was clear: the DRC needs builders as much as backers. By combining disciplined capital with hands-on operational leadership, TIBO helps entrepreneurs scale and builds enterprises that endure.
The early years focused on assembling the right team, culture, and playbooks. We brought in operator-investors with real-world experience in launching businesses, managing P&Ls, and scaling operations. Governance, repeatable processes, and execution discipline became core to the company’s DNA. With this foundation, TIBO launched its first companies and platforms, setting the stage for long-term growth.
From the start, ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) principles have been embedded in every business: local sourcing, job creation, skills development, and community stewardship.
With US$10.5M advised and a team boasting over 200 cumulative years of experience, TIBO Enterprises is sector-agnostic but thesis-driven: we acquire or build businesses where there is resilient demand and an opportunity to professionalize operations into market leaders.

We continue to do what we set out to do: partner with proven operators, build businesses where it matters, and uphold an execution standard we call excellence.
This commitment is especially evident in the Democratic Republic of Congo, where we focus on creating and scaling companies that address real gaps in the market. By consistently combining hands-on operational support with disciplined growth, TIBO Enterprises delivers both measurable impact and long-term value, reflecting the principles that have guided our journey from the very beginning.
