About

We invest in secrets that become obvious with the benefit of hindsight.

Our mission is to be the Sequoia Capital for underestimated founders and markets.

Our firm finances entrepreneurial inspiration in diverse founding teams.  We are a VC fund unapologetically investing in women, underrepresented founders (particularly of African descent) and underserved POC markets, backing bold ideas and business models that harness the power of technology to deliver value to mass markets.

We are sector agnostic and currently invest from our offices in Africa, the US, and the UK.

Our current portfolio comprises companies delivering value in the following sectors: Smart Planet, Health and Human Services, Emerging Fintech, The Next Frontier, Commerce, Media & Entertainment, Access to Energy, Sustainable Mobility, and Connectivity, among other themes.

Our team, with over 80 years of combined experience and insights, is actively growing and supporting a portfolio we have built over the last decade. We lead nearly all our deals, actively support founders and teams we have backed, and will always match their conviction.

At EchoVC, we will continue to back bold ideas and business models that harness the power of technology.

Count on us, and count on it.
