Recent experiments on the chiral Kagome antiferromagnet Mn3Ge have provided strong evidence of proximity-induced spin-polarized superconductivity. We introduce and explore a minimal model which exhibits a rich phase diagram as a function of chemical potential and spin canting. We find a valley-singlet superconducting phase for chemical potentials and canting consistent with the experimental system. This phase transitions into a Chern insulator at larger canting and gives way to topological superconducting phases with Chern numbers CBdG = ± 1, ± 3 at other chemical potentials. Our results show that proximity-induced superconductivity in Kagome antiferromagnets is a promising route towards superconductivity with spin-polarized Cooper pairs.
