Who we are
We leverage innovation, technology and capital to invest in Africa and create impact.
Africa receives less than 1% of global venture capital funding. The available funding is provided at stages many companies never reach, is concentrated in certain sectors and geographies resulting in many underserved founders by gender, by geography, by sector and stage. At Ortus Africa Capital, we believe the best of these founders can build global companies if given a chance. We find and back them. We are co-founders and operators who have supported over 60+ companies. We have mentored and accelerated companies, providing help to grow revenue upto 10X and support to raise follow-on capital and exits to achieve 12X returns on invested capital.
