Africa needs innovation to address its deficit in energy, infrastructure, and meet essential services for its growing population. The desire among Africans to develop their own solutions is unquestionable, and the capable minds are aplenty. Unfortunately, African entrepreneurs’ access to financial capital is among the lowest in the world.

AfriCap is a venture capital firm on a mission to change the quality of life in Africa by investing at least US$1 billion in African innovators over the next 20 years.
