Africa’s Venture Capital Opportunity
Africa’s startup ecosystem is expanding rapidly, yet early-stage capital for
research-driven and IP-rich ventures remains scarce. Koya Capital's Fund
addresses this gap by targeting Africa’s most underfunded but high-potential
innovation sectors.
- VC Growth: African startups raised $3,1B in 2023, but less than 5% went to deep tech ventures.
- Early-Stage Gap: Pre-seed and seed-stage ventures face a $2B+ annual funding shortfall.
- University Spinouts: Fewer than 2% of African university research outputs reach commercialization stage.
- Strategic Opportunity: Investing in IP-based startups in health, climate, education, agriculture fueled by digital innovation can unlock outsized returns while driving socio-economic impact.
Koya Capital Fund bridges the financing gap for Africa’s next-generation innovators,
providing smart capital and deep ecosystem support.
