Does Blaq Ventures only invest in African startups?

Yes, Blaq Ventures exclusively invests in startups based in Africa.

Our firm is deeply committed to supporting and catalyzing innovation and entrepreneurship across the continent. We believe in the immense potential of African talent and the transformative power of homegrown solutions to address the unique challenges and opportunities facing the region. While our investment focus is on startups in Africa, we do not restrict our scope to specific countries. 

We actively seek investment opportunities in every country on the continent, with the exception of Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, and Egypt, where we believe there is already significant investor interest and competition. By targeting underserved markets and emerging ecosystems, we aim to unlock new opportunities, amplify local talent, and drive inclusive growth that benefits communities across Africa. Our mission is to be a catalyst for positive change, empowering entrepreneurs to build scalable and impactful businesses that contribute to Africa’s sustainable development and prosperity.
