Use when
You're an East African B2B or fintech founder raising seed or Series A who wants an investor with enterprise and government sales networks in the region.
Skip when
You are a first-time founder still assembling a team and approaching at pre-seed. That is explicitly not the profile the earliest cheques go to, though the seed door is wider.
Status (24 Sep 2026): closed US$58 million across its funds and launched a founder partner programme alongside it. Cheques run roughly US$250,000 to US$5 million at pre-seed and seed, across fintech, logistics, health, human capital and climate. 48 investments in 31 companies to date, across eight markets: Kenya, Uganda, Nigeria, Ghana, Côte d'Ivoire, Senegal, Egypt and South Africa. Worth knowing for pre-seed: the stated preference there is repeat founders with a complete founding team.
