We invest in founders disrupting the future of industry . Early-stage investing is our game and we’re here to support founders looking to upend the status quo with a global vision from day one. The Mission Our primary objective is to back diverse, passionate and never-say-die founders to become world-class entrepreneurs who can leverage technology to build global companies and disrupt industries right from the early stages, and support them fully on their journeys. Our fund operates on an effective, but simple four-point mandate: 1. Disruption & Innovation We look for companies who can find and build solutions to problems that address inefficiencies across industries with the potential to create inflection points in the market and pave a new way forward for society. 2. Technology Leverage We believe in the power of technology to make the world as we see fit. This is why we understand that technology enablers play a significant role in shaping the future of industries. Some of the enablers we're interested in include; blockchain, automation, 5G, AR/VR, machine learning, exabyte storage, robotics, IoT, accelerated computing and much more. We fully support founders who can find ingenious ways to use technology to create new markets and open the industry to innovation. 3. Global Vision Our goal is to help bring founders and their companies onto the world stage by collaborating with our key strategic and incredible network across Silicon Valley and beyond towards exponential growth. We’re starting off ANZ and the USA for now, but will soon expand out to South-East Asia 4. Early Stage Backing We're here to help support and nurture founders from the very beginning on their journey. We know it's incredibly tough creating a company, so we are backing those folks who need it the most. For us, it all starts off with just a seed.

As capital becomes a commodity with more early-stage investors flocking to Africa, what will make us stand out will be our networks, relationships, and reputations. What we look forLarge Markets: A clear market opportunity that is massive and growing, captured through a scalable business model. We aim at reaching sustainable impact across a large audience by addressing deep markets, or investing in market-creating innovations. Scalable Economics: Tech-enabled businesses with proven, highly leverageable and defensible revenues, coupled with the ability to improve unit economics through cost and capital efficiency are able to achieve top-trend growth more easily than less efficient business structures. We are disciplined in ensuring the unit economics of the business we invest in are sustainable and attractive. Strong Agile Teams: We are looking for founders that combine strategic vision and executional capacity. Strong teams tend to be bound by a cohesive, inclusive, all-hands-on deck culture. We are seeking founders and teams guided by a clear value proposition and differentiated position in the market. Repeatable Growth: Solutions with highly replicable growth models and transferable problem-solution sets can most benefit from our growth investment and market expansion facilitation. As African markets are not uniform, we carefully model and test solution-market fit. How much funding will you get? If you are an African founder of a tech enabled startup that is solving a significant African development challenge please apply here. If you have little or no revenues, we will refer you to our Angel Fund for $10k to $100k funding consideration. If you have meaningful revenues with high growth potential, we may invest $50k-$250k.
