Funding early-stage founders building in Africa.
We back founders building practical solutions for real-world African markets—from pre-seed to early-stage.
The firm
Built with intent.
We believe the most important companies in Africa will be built by founders with lived experience—those who understand constraints, inefficiencies, and opportunities from within.
Stage
We invest beyond the idea
The idea is only the starting point. We look for founders who have built something, put it in front of users, and begun to uncover evidence that there is a real opportunity worth pursuing.
01
Have a product
You’ve built something people can use.
Your MVP is more than a concept—it’s a working product that you’re ready to put in front of the market.
02
Have insight
You’re learning what the market wants.
You’re talking to users, testing assumptions, and using what you learn to improve the product and business.
03
Have a signal
There’s something worth building on.
There’s meaningful early traction—whether through users, customers, revenue, retention, or another signal—and you’re ready to build on it.
