Pan-African fund backing category-defining tech companies
A venture firm investing in early-stage African technology companies with the potential to define categories across the continent.
Use when
You are building something continent-scale and want an investor with pan-African portfolio history.
Skip when
Your market is not plausibly worth several billion dollars. CRE asks even very early companies to credibly address a US$5 billion-plus market, which rules out strong businesses aimed at smaller niches.
Status (21 Sep 2026): active with roughly US$406 million under management as of mid-2025, backed by institutional LPs including British International Investment. Invests at seed, Series A and Series B, with seed rounds typically in the US$2 million to US$10 million range. Accepts submissions through a form on cre.vc rather than requiring an introduction. Offices in Lagos and the United States.
