Geospatial intelligence for Africa-focused infrastructure investment decisions
GridSafi helps investment and development teams evaluate locations using structured spatial evidence before committing time and capital.
Invited workflows only. Platform access
Early-stage investment decisions rely on incomplete location information
Infrastructure and real asset investments begin long before detailed due diligence. At the screening stage, teams must assess markets and candidate locations using fragmented information from desktop research, reports, and limited spatial validation.
- Important site risks are discovered late
- Field diligence is expensive and time-consuming
- Investment committees must decide without consistent evidence
Teams often know what they want to build before they fully understand where it should be built.
Structured spatial evidence for early decision making
The GridSafi Intelligence Platform integrates satellite observations, infrastructure context, and local development patterns into decision-ready evidence packages designed for screening workflows.
Rather than replacing detailed diligence, GridSafi supports the stage before it, helping teams determine where deeper analysis should focus.
Evaluate candidate locations faster
Support internal investment memoranda
Reduce unnecessary field diligence
From geography to decision support
Select geography
Select a country or metro area relevant to a project.
Review evidence
Review structured spatial evidence describing development patterns, accessibility, and change over time.
Generate materials
Generate materials suitable for internal discussion and preliminary approvals.
GridSafi is designed to support the questions asked during screening, not just the maps used during analysis.
Decision-ready outputs
Built for investment and development teams evaluating real assets:
The platform produces structured materials intended for internal evaluation workflows.
Satellite change analysis
Recurring observation signals to frame how places are changing.
Infrastructure accessibility context
Connectivity and access patterns around candidate locations.
Spatial due diligence summary
Screening-ready narratives aligned to internal review steps.
Time-series development patterns
Temporal context to prioritize where deeper work is warranted.
Built for teams evaluating real assets
GridSafi supports teams responsible for deciding whether a location merits deeper diligence.
Founding team
GridSafi was developed through discussions with investors, operators, and development institutions seeking more reliable early-stage location evidence.
Reuben Aniekwu
Founder and Chief Executive Officer
Reuben leads company strategy, product direction, and business development. He leverages his interdisciplinary background in climate research, finance, geospatial analytics and consulting to facilitate a pipeline of bankable infrastructure projects across Africa.
Zach Landes
Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer
Zach leads system architecture design, software development, and data processing.
Before founding GridSafi, Reuben and Zach worked as colleagues at the U.S. Global Change Research Program within the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, where they supported climate research coordination across the U.S. Federal Government.
Start a conversation
We are currently engaging a small number of institutions to apply GridSafi to real screening workflows. If your team evaluates projects in emerging markets and would like to explore whether structured spatial evidence can support early decisions, we would be happy to speak.
We do not provide open public access at this stage.
