Less than 2% of global venture capital flows into Africa, leaving many high-potential founders underfunded at the earliest stages. This group focuses on providing patient pre-seed and seed capital to exceptional African entrepreneurs building the next generation of businesses across the continent. We back founders with deep local insight, strong execution ability, and domain expertise—supporting them hands-on through early growth with strategic guidance and long-term partnership. Our approach emphasizes capital efficiency, strong unit economics, and a clear path to sustainability, recognizing the realities of African venture markets. While sector-agnostic, we prioritize foundational industries such as energy, agriculture, healthcare, logistics, and financial infrastructure—especially businesses uniquely positioned to serve large and growing middle- and low-income populations.
