About
We are a multi-stage venture investor in category-defining founders and teams using technology to solve large and meaningful problems across Africa
Investment approach
- Thesis
- We back founders and teams using technology to solve large and meaningful problems across Africa. We back African technology companies that are organising the offline online, digitizing key industries, and redefining the way Africans live, earn, work, and do business. Our core thesis is driven by identifying verticals in Africa where the problems are large and meaningful, which can be solved commercially, and where technology is core. We know the market is both misunderstood and overlooked, and with tailwinds of population growth, increasing internet penetration and falling data costs, rapidly developing infrastructure, strengthening governance and transparency, and a quickly emerging tech and venture ecosystem, we see significant opportunity in backing the teams leveraging technology to build the rails that will help drive Africa's exponential growth over the coming decades.Source (opens in a new tab)
- Leads rounds
- Sometimes
- Lead policy
- We prefer to lead investments and co-lead investments where it also fits the needs of the company. We will also participate in investment rounds with co-investors where we are not the lead investor in a smaller capacity.
- Takes board seats
- Sometimes
- Board policy
- We do take Board and Observer seats in cases where we lead or co-lead the investment, however, at the earliest stage of company formation we know this is not always necessary.
- Reserves policy
- We have a clear reserve policy and follow-on strategy where we reserve significant capital to follow on into portfolio companies we've already backed. Not every company will receive a follow-on investment.
- Eligibility
- For pre-seed investments, we typically invest in repeat founders with complete founding teams
