Venture Capital in Rwanda
Why we invest in Rwanda and not everywhere in Africa
Blaq Ventures is among the leading venture capital firms in Rwanda.
Our focus on startup funding in Rwanda is strong. This reflects our
assessment of the market potential, startup activity, and growth
opportunities. We invest in African countries
that are less represented in terms of Venture Capital investment. By getting
startup funding from Blaq Ventures, entrepreneurs will have an investment
partner for pre-seed and future rounds.
Rwanda Venture Capital Landscape Analysis
Blaq Ventures recognizes the untapped potential for Venture Capital

Currently, Africa receives less than 1% of global venture capital funding,
with the majority concentrated in just four countries. We are committed to
changing this landscape by actively providing startup funding in Rwanda
and beyond. Our mission is to empower entrepreneurs across the continent and
drive innovation where it’s needed most.
We’ve seen fintech, edtech, healthtech and agritech startups achieve
remarkable growth through targeted mentorship and strategic funding,
positioning them as leaders in their respective fields in those 4
countries.
We believe that we can help startups in Rwanda achieve the same
success.
