Savannah Fund

Savannah Fund is a seed capital fund specializing in US$50,000-US$1,000,000 investments in early-stage high-growth technology (web and mobile) startups in sub-Saharan Africa. Initially focused on East Africa, the fund aims to bridge the early-stage/angel and venture capital investment gap that currently exists in Africa. The Fund expects to achieve this objective by combining capital with mentor networks and local technical assistance both in the region and Silicon Valley.

The fund is managed by an experienced and technology-savvy team that has founded companies or is actively involved in angel investing. Members of the team have also run successful accelerator programs in the past and also understand the unique Subsaharan African environment. We are backed and supported by local, regional, and international networks of angels and venture capitalists whose expertise we can draw on to help startups succeed and scale to fully-fledged regional or global companies.

We believe in the potential for Africa to become a global technology innovator by creating sustainable for-profit companies that create jobs and make an impact.
