The next generation of investors .

Our origin story.

Africa is the origin of all humanity - the original origin. Despite accounting for 20% of global land mass and 20% of global population, it accounts for only 1% of global venture capital funding. Of that, only 20% currently comes from local African investors.

We’re changing that.

We are building a powerful platform and diverse community for backing the African founders who are building the future.

Education is a huge lever for enabling the next generation of African investors to have a seat at the table. We provide access, hands-on training, and educational programming to empower and upskill Africa-focused investors.
