A second close of the fund is due to take place in early 2022 and will feature investment from select global Institutional Investors and DFI’s.
Kola Aina, Founder and General Partner at Ventures Platform, says, “Over the last six years, we’ve backed close to 70 of Africa’s most compelling tech companies, building a robust portfolio which has featured one of the largest exits our sector witnessed to date through Paystack last year.
As the incredible momentum in African tech continues to build, it’s attracting unprecedented attention globally amongst traditional and institutional investors, and we’re delighted to welcome aboard some world-class, strategic stakeholders to our fund.”
