About
Empowerment Capital is a black owned venture capital investment company.
Our team has been involved in numerous BEE investment transactions ranging from Blue Chip multinationals such as DHL, General Electric, and Heineken to a long trail of South African small and medium-sized enterprises.
We are venture capital investors who started our business from a lounge in Parktown. The start was not with cushy salaries but with the belief of aligning ourselves to long-term economic growth through nation-building. There should be no question of our ability to generate substantial returns on venture capital investment with this approach.
We implement sustainable BEE transactions, from initial design to conclusion, and support your business post-implementation with access to finance, governance, and business development. Empowerment Capital creates real lasting symbiotic win-win relationships across the South African corporate landscape.
We continue expanding and pursuing start-up businesses in South Africa that can grow into large companies with the right venture capital investors.
