About Us
Finding Inspiration in Every Turn
We started because we saw something others missed: an entire region full of entrepreneurial talent, world-changing ideas, and relentless founders, yet chronically overlooked by capital.
​
Over the past two decades, our team has lived, built, and invested across Southern Africa. We've mentored founders, helped scale startups, supported incubators, and seen firsthand the brilliance and grit of entrepreneurs across Botswana, Namibia, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, and beyond.
But we kept running into the same story:
Great founders. Great ideas. No capital.
​
We realized the problem wasn't potential, it was access. So we built a VC to change that.
Our Why
Southern Africa is at a pivotal moment. Innovation is rising. Infrastructure is catching up. The world is starting to pay attention, but most investors are still on the sidelines.
-
Incubators and accelerators are thriving, producing investment-ready startups that lack funding post-graduation.
-
Internet and mobile penetration are accelerating, unlocking digital business models even in rural areas.
-
Natural gas and oil discoveries in countries like Namibia and Mozambique are set to fuel economic growth and infrastructure expansion.
-
A new generation of founders are building scalable solutions to real-world problems, solutions that can extend far beyond their borders.
We believe this region holds the kind of asymmetric opportunity that only comes around once in a generation:
low competition, high-quality deal flow, and founders who are building the future.
