Update: 2025-09-24

Description

LeapFrog Investments recently completed its exit from Goodlife Pharmacy, East Africa’s largest retail pharmacy platform, marking a significant milestone in the region's healthcare sector.

Under LeapFrog's guidance since 2017, Goodlife expanded from 19 to 150 stores, serving over 2 million consumers annually. The acquisition by CFAO Healthcare, a subsidiary of the Toyota Group, underscores the growing confidence in Africa's healthcare market and the potential for private capital to drive impactful growth.

In this podcast we deep dive into the vision, key obstacles to success, and lessons learnt along the momentous journey from investment to exit.
