We're an angel investment firm focused on African tech startups that have a clear path to profitability. We're highly selective—making just 1-2 investments per year—and we only back companies that have achieved revenue but haven't quite cracked profitability yet.
We start with initial investments of $3,000-$5,000, with follow-on funding available as startups hit profitability milestones. Our secret weapon? A proprietary database tracking over 7,000 African-focused startups with half a million data points. Think of it as our crystal ball for market intelligence and competitive analysis.
We roll up our sleeves with our portfolio companies, many of whom go on to join top-tier global accelerators. Our philosophy is simple: achieve profitability first, then chase the bigger funding rounds. It's about building sustainable businesses that can thrive in the African tech ecosystem for the long haul.

We are techies turned entrepreneurs turned investors. As investors, we realized the engagement process with us—and by extension, other VCs—is fundamentally broken. We were drowning in inbound requests, yet could only invest in 1% of the founders we met each year. Meanwhile, founders were burning countless hours in mismatched conversations across the ecosystem.
So we built Rover—our AI agent—to solve this for everyone. Rover handles our inbound pipeline (goodbye, "contact us" page) and helps founders quickly identify which VCs they should actually be talking to. It's free for life* (up to 3 matches, because we're not running a charity here).
Sign up, and if you're a match for us, we'll reach out. If not, you'll know exactly who you should be pitching instead.
