We back founders building the future of Africa

We invest in early-stage African companies (Pre-Seed to Series A) that solve for non-consumption, plug infrastructural gaps, and democratize prosperity. Our focus areas include fintech, health tech, logistics, e-commerce, education, and agriculture.

We typically invest between $5,000 to $100,000 in initial funding rounds, with reserves for follow-on investments. The exact amount depends on the stage of your company, traction, and funding requirements.

We invest primarily in Pre-Seed and Seed stage companies, though we occasionally participate in Series A rounds for exceptional companies. We look for companies with early traction, clear product-market fit, and ambitious founders.

No, we invest across Africa. While we're based in Nigeria, we back founders from across the continent including Kenya, South Africa, Ghana, Egypt, and other African countries. We have portfolio companies in 6+ countries.

Our initial review takes 48 hours. If we're interested, the full due diligence process typically takes 4-6 weeks from initial meeting to term sheet. We strive to be founder-friendly and move quickly.

We look for exceptional founders with deep domain expertise, strong execution capabilities, and unwavering commitment to their vision. We value technical founders, diverse teams, and those with a clear understanding of their market.

While a pitch deck helps us understand your business faster, it's not mandatory for initial applications. We care more about your traction, team, and the problem you're solving. However, a well-prepared deck does help in later stages.

We provide hands-on support including strategic guidance, hiring assistance, customer introductions, follow-on funding connections, and access to our network of 140+ founders. We also run regular events and workshops for our portfolio.

We prefer companies with some early traction (customers, revenue, or strong user engagement). However, exceptional founding teams with unique insights into large markets may be considered even at the idea stage.

We make approximately 10-15 new investments per year. We review hundreds of applications and meet with dozens of companies before making investment decisions.

You'll receive a confirmation email immediately. Our team reviews all applications within 48 hours. If there's a potential fit, we'll schedule an initial call to learn more about your company. The full process from application to investment typically takes 4-8 weeks.

We both lead and participate in funding rounds. For Pre-Seed rounds, we often lead. For Seed and Series A, we typically participate alongside other investors. We're flexible and founder-focused in our approach.
