Before you apply.
Is the typical ticket fixed?
It is the proposed typical first-investment range. The final amount and instrument depend on stage, traction, risk, capital need and investment approval.
Which countries are eligible?
The intended mandate is Pan-African. A venture should have meaningful operations, customers or impact connected to African markets.
Do you invest in ideas?
Our primary interest is ventures with evidence of market demand or traction. Exceptional earlier-stage opportunities may be considered where validation is strong.
