Why Limuru Road Ventures

Named after the Nairobi road where our founding managing partner grew up, we're an angel fund backing the earliest-stage fintechs with the ambition to scale across the entire African continent and beyond.

Pan-African Scale

We back companies that think continent-wide from day one — not just single-market solutions, but fintechs built to scale across Africa's 54 nations.

Founder-First

We back resilient, mission-driven founders who understand local markets deeply but are building for pan-African and global reach.

Cross-Border Expertise

Beyond capital, we bring networks and operational experience across multiple African markets to help you expand across borders.

Investment Thesis

The continent-scale opportunity

Africa has 1.4 billion people, a median age of 19, and the fastest-growing mobile-money adoption on Earth. But the biggest opportunities aren't in any single market — they're in the fintechs that can bridge borders, harmonize fragmented systems, and serve the continent as one.

We believe the companies that will define African finance are those built with pan-African ambition from the start — and we want to be their first cheque.

What We Look For

Africa-First Founders

Founders solving real problems on the continent, with deep local insight and the ambition to scale pan-Africa.

Continental TAM

Companies that see Africa as one market, not 54 — addressing continent-scale problems with multi-market business models.

Cross-Border Moats

Multi-market regulatory knowledge, cross-border network effects, and distribution that compounds as you expand.

Pre-Seed & Seed

We write first cheques. Typical investments range from $10K to $100K at the earliest stages.
