What Hamza Tamguicht has built
A holding built around software
Hamza Tamguicht founded Africa Equity Group as a pure technology holding: every company in the portfolio is a software platform or an AI system. The group builds in-house, acquires selectively, and exits twice a year during a disciplined one-month transition window.
OportAI — the $32M flagship
He founded and leads OportAI, the group's HR-tech flagship valued at $32 million. The platform combines AI-powered resume generation, ATS integration and compliance, and a global matching algorithm that connects candidates to opportunities across continents.
AEG Sovereign AI — AI for states
Under his direction, Africa Equity Group launched AEG Sovereign AI to help governments and large corporations transition to artificial intelligence and to audit public spending continuously — screening 100% of transactions and flagging anomalies in under 48 hours to recover and protect public funds.
Capital across five-plus countries
Through Africa Equity Group's venture arm, he backs high-growth software and AI startups in more than five countries, deliberately connecting Moroccan and African engineering talent to global capital.
"Our ambition is to prove that Morocco — and Africa — can be the birthplace of world-class software and artificial intelligence. We don't simply build companies; we build bridges between local talent and global capital."
