Our Funds

EAVC has identified some key financing gaps in Africa and seeks to address these with our funds targeted at selected markets in which the Group currently operates and aims to expand.

Technology Fund

The EAVC team has established the Emerging Africa Technology Fund (“EATF”). EATF is a Mauritius licensed venture capital Fund aimed at investing in African technology focused or enabled early and growth-stage companies, through a combination of equity, debt, and hybrid investment structures. The Fund aims to invest in businesses located within West Africa and Kenya; including Nigeria, Ghana, Togo, Cameroon, the Ivory Coast and Kenya. The core investment sectors of the Fund are Fintech (including insuretech), Agritech, Edtech, Healthtech, Ecommerce and Artificial intelligence.

Female Entrepreneurship Fund

A growth and buy-out venture capital fund in the process of being established, for female-owned and female-led MSMEs and SMEs in Africa, through debt and equity funding.
