Use when
You're raising a seed or Series A with strong metrics and want a globally connected institutional investor with deep African market knowledge.
Skip when
You are early. A fund building only about 20 positions at US$1 million and up is not writing a first cheque, and its centre of gravity is Series A and B.

Initial tickets of US$1 million to US$15 million from seed to Series C, with Series A and B prioritised, across a planned portfolio of about 20 companies.
