Nairobi family-backed fund investing in Kenyan startups
The venture arm of the Chandaria group, investing in and mentoring early-stage Kenyan and East African companies.
Use when
You are an East African startup that would benefit from established local industrial and distribution networks.
Skip when
You need published terms before investing time. Neither the cheque range nor a formal process is public, so this is a networking route rather than an application.
Status (24 Sep 2026): a Nairobi-based, sector-agnostic early-stage fund founded by brothers Darshan and Neer Chandaria, investing at seed and Series A. It is the venture arm of a long-established East African industrial family business, which is the real distinction: it brings manufacturing, distribution and regional operating experience that a pure financial investor does not. Cheque sizes and any application route are not published, so approach is relationship-led.
