Entrepreneurs as a Service

Our projects

We have expertise across many sectors, especially in access to essential services

  • Electricity Access

    Power:On started out as a pioneer of rural electricity access in West Africa. We built the first private minigrid in Benin in 2015 and have since then unlocked projects that will allow tens of thousands of people to access electricity.

    Industry

    Through sophisticated industrialized processing, co-founder Jake Muhleman transformed what was only known as a cheap liquor made in rural areas into a refined, award-winning product exported in Europe and the U.S.

    We are field experts. Power:On has carried out market analyses and extensive field studies in remote rural areas in various African countries for multiple international clients.
