Lifting Africa Through Venture

Africa is the world's youngest, fastest-growing digital market — and its most under-built. Mobile broadband now covers over 83% of the continent, yet only 39% of its 1.5 billion people are online — a vast gap between physical and digital infrastructure, both essential to the leapfrog within reach. The potential of Africa's digital economy remains largely unrealized: countless offline, manual activities are still waiting to be digitized and automated. A fundamental revolution is underway today — one that reshapes the continent's divides into democratized economic rights.

The next decade of African value creation will accrue not to thin adoption-layer plays, but to the innovators who own the underlying infrastructure — the datasets, the intelligence, the autonomous capabilities. With that conviction, we invest in early-stage East African tech startups, across sectors, with such core competencies in digital infrastructure. Building infrastructure is hard, but it yields the most durable returns and creates invisible, life-changing impact over the long run.
