Why we invest in Zambia and not everywhere in Africa

Blaq Ventures is among the leading venture capital firms in Zambia.

Our focus on startup funding in Zambia 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.

Zambia Venture Capital Landscape Analysis

Blaq Ventures recognizes the untapped potential for Venture Capital investment in Zambia.

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 Zambia 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.
