Pan-African VC investing in Africa's future
Future Africa is a pan-African VC fund and community investing in African founders building the future of the continent. Fund size: $30M+. They invest $100K–$500K at pre-seed and seed. Notable portfolio: Flutterwave, Mono, Helium Health, Autochek, and more. Also runs the Future Africa Collective, a community and deal syndicate.
Use when
You're raising a pre-seed or seed round and want a mission-aligned pan-African investor with a strong founder community.
Skip when
You are raising a Series B or later, or you need a published application deadline. Route in is through the fund's own channels and network rather than an open call, and the syndicate structure means your round may involve more parties than a single term sheet.
Status (21 Sep 2026): actively deploying. Cheques of roughly US$100,000 to US$500,000 at pre-seed and seed, with follow-on reserved for the companies that work and selective Series A participation. Structured so individual African operators can co-invest alongside the fund through syndicate SPVs rather than only institutions. Founded by Iyinoluwa Aboyeji, previously of Andela and Flutterwave.
