Avinell X Cantagali
Role: Co-Partner
Avinell X Cantagali was established to redefine how capital moves between Africa and the world.
Formed through a strategic partnership between Mr. Tosin Ashafa and Mr. Olumide Onitiri-Coker, the firm unites deep local market intelligence with global investment expertise. Mr. Olumide Onitiri-Coker brings a global commercial real estate perspective through Avinell, while Mr. Tosin Ashafa anchors the partnership with extensive experience in Nigeria’s residential real estate market.
As Avinell identified Africa - particularly Nigeria - as a priority destination for global capital, partnering with a credible local platform became essential. Avinell X Cantagali is the result of that vision.
It operates as a strategic gateway between capital and opportunity, enabling entrepreneurs, institutions, and sophisticated investors to access curated, high-quality investment opportunities across global markets. With a focus on real estate, private equity, and fund placements, it supports family offices and high-net-worth individuals in raising, structuring, and deploying capital with precision and intent.
The ambition extends beyond transactions. Avinell X Cantagali exists to elevate Africa’s role in global investing - positioning African markets, assets, and leaders as active participants in the world’s most influential capital flows, not passive recipients of them.
We engage at the earliest and most critical point of the capital cycle, where clarity of strategy determines long-term outcomes. From sourcing cross-border opportunities to structuring investment vehicles and transactions, we assemble a global ecosystem of legal, tax, and market experts to deliver decisions grounded in insight, compliance, and confidence.
Whether capital is being raised, deployed, or repositioned, it ensures every mandate begins with a clear thesis and ends with institutional-grade execution.
