Seedstars Africa Ventures is an early-stage venture capital fund investing in high-growth companies active across Sub-Saharan Africa.

Early-stage entrepreneurs across the region are creating innovative online and offline models responding to critical products and service needs. They enjoy large market opportunities and boast high growth rates, and yet still have scarce access to capital and support compared to other regions of the World.

Capitalizing on Seedstars’ pioneering presence in African entrepreneurship ecosystems since 2012, Seedstars Africa Ventures is profoundly an African investor bringing smart capital for entrepreneurs and providing them access to pan-African and international support. Seedstars Africa Ventures is anchored by and part of LBO France, regulated under the AMF. The partnership has benefitted from investments from EIB Global with EU support under the ACP trust fund - UE compartiment in the text.

Our blended entrepreneur-focused approach, backed by major corporate and institutional investors, is what helps us create prosperous partnership opportunities and paths to exit for the companies we support.

Seedstars Africa Ventures firmly believes that to generate high returns, it is vital to maintain a long-term outlook where performance equates not only to financial returns but also extra-financial returns. As such, the Fund follows its ESG and Climate Policy and pursues sustainable development objectives such as defined by article 8 of the European Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR).
