Investments
I back founders building the next African export — software, talent, and ideas.
Pre-seed and seed checks, plus operator support that compounds well past the wire transfer.
Thesis
What I look for.
01
Talent compounds faster than capital.
I back founders who treat hiring and culture as primary product surfaces, not HR overhead.
02
Distribution is the moat.
In markets with thin data, the founders who win own a channel, a community, or a regulatory wedge.
03
Africa is a global market.
The interesting opportunities aren't 'for Africans only' — they're built in Africa for the world.

Pitch me
One paragraph beats a 20-slide deck.
Tell me: who you are, what you're building, who it's for, what evidence you have it's working, and what you need next. If it takes more than 200 words, edit before sending.
