\u00a0Seedstars<\/a>\u00a0is partnering with\u00a0First Growth Ventures<\/a>\u00a0to launch\u00a0Seedstars Africa Ventures, a sub-Saharan\u00a0Africa fund\u00a0targeting\u00a0$100mn to make early-stage minority investments from USD 250,000\u00a0to USD 5 million in the most promising and innovative ventures across sectors and countries. The fund\u00a0is expected\u00a0to make its first investments by the end of this year.<\/p>\n

The partnership between Seedstars and First Growth Ventures was announced on April\u00a04th, 2019 at the Seedstars Summit\u00a0in Lausanne.\u00a0Seedstars, the preeminent startup community for emerging markets active in over 80 ecosystems, offers unrivaled dealflow, market access and startup support programs. With activities in over 20 sub-Saharan Africa markets and physical hubs in key countries such as South Africa, Nigeria, Ivory Coast and Tanzania, the fund is being developed on strong foundations. The\u00a0First Growth Ventures founding team brings investment and support experience covering tech startups and high growth enterprises in Africa, Europe and MENA.\u00a0The partnership structure allows for independent decision making, enabling the fund to target both Seedstars accelerated start-ups and other companies.<\/p>\n

African growth has consistently exceeded that of developed economies in the past 15 years according to the World Bank, providing numerous investment opportunities. While later-stage funding is becoming increasingly available with analysts recording an increase of late-stage transactions of up to 45 percent in 2018, enterprises across the continent struggle to find long term, early-stage capital. Early stage transactions have only grown by 10 percent in 2018, emphasizing a VC gap for young companies.\u00a0\u201cSeedstars has been working for 6 years to close the entrepreneurial ecosystem gap in emerging markets through various startup focused initiatives. Since 2017 we\u2019ve been actively investing at a seed stage and although venture capital investment volumes in Africa grew to over a $1bn in 2018, Europe, a similar sized region, had volumes near $20bn. This fund will help reduce this VC funding gap and in turn contribute to reducing the GDP gap,\u201d\u00a0said Charlie Graham-Brown, the Chief Investment Officer at Seedstars.<\/p>\n

The investment team\u2019s experience in portfolio support and institutional fund management will be leveraged to accompany entrepreneurs in their growth.\u00a0Entrepreneurs will also benefit from the support of Seedstars\u2019 local and international networks, training programs and infrastructure which have so far allowed\u00a044%\u00a0of their cohorts to raise significant follow on funding, similar to what the best US accelerators have achieved.\u00a0\u201cThe challenge of providing quality early-stage support across the continent\u00a0is one\u00a0of the main reasons\u00a0explaining the lack of early-stage funding at this scale.\u00a0Partnering with Seedstars who has a demonstrated ability to assist companies where they need it most will help us bridge that gap,\u201d\u00a0says Tamim El Zein, partner at First Growth Ventures.<\/p>\n

Most venture funds\u00a0focus on finding the next African tech\u00a0unicorn\u00a0in only a few ecosystems, but\u00a0unicorns\u00a0are\u00a0rare on the African continent. \u00a0Seedstars Africa Ventures\u00a0will also\u00a0be searching for\u00a0\u201cGazelles\u201d:\u00a0post-commercialisation, scalable, high growth companies\u00a0that\u00a0are plentiful on the continent outside the three main VC markets.\u00a0Some of Africa\u2019s most successful companies have developed products and services addressing the needs of the entire population, beyond the digital frontier, and these ventures will also be on the radar for the fund.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe strive to identify the best\u00a0entrepreneurs\u00a0irrespective\u00a0of their sectors and countries, and\u00a0evaluate their business based on their\u00a0capacity to grow and dominate their markets. Overconcentration of investors on a few verticals and countries is leaving large untapped opportunities,\u201d says\u00a0Maxime Bouan, partner at First Growth Ventures.\u00a0This unique ability to invest in and accompany a diversified portfolio of early-stage companies throughout the continent is a game-changer in the venture space where\u00a0such funds\u00a0remain scarce.<\/p>\n
