We provide a distinct opportunity to support the most promising early-stage fintech startups in Africa, yielding both investment returns and impact. The high-caliber entrepreneurs we partner with are solving real world problems at scale; capitalising on conducive macro trends, established digital infrastructures and maturing tech ecosystems. 

We’re entrepreneurs-first. We see our interests as unequivocally aligned. Emphasising our support on strategic focus, customer feedback, and data-driven decisions, we confront hurdles, tackle performance discrepancies, and provide hands-on guidance. We guide our startups towards profitability, scalability, and capital efficiency. Our network comprises of Venture Capitalists, entrepreneurs, mentors, and executives. 

We carefully appraise each opportunity as we are mindful of long term value creation. We assess each project to validate the Founders-Market fit, their distribution methodology and execution capacity and, the Exit strategy. Plus we ensure that there is a Founders-VC Fit. Over and above assessing the Business opportunity and scalability, we apply our “7Ts” matrix and assess: Team, Timing, Trend, Traction, TAM, Tech, and Trenches.

Our intentionality is to partner with startups that share our commitment to to foster an inclusive and equitable growth and vision for long-term impact. Particularly in Africa, where urgent challenges require innovative tech solutions, we prioritise projects that foster inclusion, enable access to essential products and services, as we believe these value proposals will generate significant impact in the coming years. 

This framework is entrenched into our investment processes during the screening and due diligence, the action planning and monitoring, and reporting.
