About

We’re investing expertise, capital and our network to accelerate businesses and bring bold ideas to life.

Acceleration Capital: A catalyst for change

Acceleration Capital is for the long run. Real growth takes more than a one-time investment. It needs a partner who’s there for the ups, the downs, and everything in between. The boldest ideas need patience and vision to see things through, and a team to do the same.

Acceleration Capital finds growth in unlikely places. Exciting opportunities aren’t always in front of us. We explore the left-field and the overlooked corners, spotting hidden potential.

Acceleration Capital scales through process, frameworks and rigour. The opportunity is just the spark.

Acceleration Capital knows the journey inside out. Bringing experience from a proven track record of building and scaling businesses and working through the day-to-day challenges that lead to success.

Unicap Partners

At Unicap Partners, we carefully examine and analyze each step that a start-up takes to succeed. However, not all start-ups are able to reach that goal. Even well-funded start-ups can struggle to grow, and initial traction may not be sustained long enough. This is where we aim to make a difference. We Are The Ecosystem For the Start-Up To Grow. We Assist You To Reach Agreed Milestones. Whether you receive investment from us or not, we provide mentoring to help you raise funds easily. Our primary focus is on investing in start-ups at the Pre-Seed, Seed, and Pre-Series A stages. However, we believe that providing support and guidance to our portfolio companies is just as important as providing funding. Our team is committed to helping you at every stage of your journey - from reaching the Minimum Viable Product (MVP) stage to defining your target market, creating an effective marketing strategy (online and offline), and raising subsequent rounds of funding, among other things.
