We're a Venture Studio, building companies
from the ground up and
investing in early-stage startups.


LET'S TURN AFRICA'S PROBLEMS INTO
GLOBAL SOLUTIONS


WHY AMAETE VENTURE STUDIOS?




OUR WHY?

To inspire and build global companies with under-networked Pan-African founders
by turning Africa's problems into global solutions and challenging the status
quo to change the African narrative.


OUR JUST CAUSE

We imagine an Africa where founders in our studio look to defy the gravitational
pull of a lack of resources to attain their goals and help others along the way.


WE FOUND, FUND, BUILD AND SCALE STARTUPS IN AFRICA

At Amaete Venture Studios, building and running companies is in our DNA. We
hand-build 3-4 companies a year and co-found and invest in select businesses.  

Our venture studio model excels because of our resources, network, capital, and
a proven process that supports entrepreneurs – allowing them to focus on what
they do best – building companies.

and scalable.

a muscle that most investors let atrophy.

Seasoned group of investors who have been through multiple cycles and understand

Digital Consumer Products, Fintech, Web3, Gaming, and eSports are some of those
areas.



RESEARCH-BASED

In the competitive early-stage space, this means we reach fact-based decisions
quickly so we don’t lose out on deals.






OUR CORE VALUES




BUILD WITH HEART

We care - Our companies profoundly affect lives and we care deeply about our
impact. Putting ourselves in the shoes of the people who work for us and use our
products helps us build better companies and products that positively impact our
communities and partners.


TAKE AN UNCONVENTIONAL PERSPECTIVE

Embrace imperfection and the unpredictable. Be willing to see something from a
different angle, and be open to doing things a different way.
                                                                                      


SHARE EVERYTHING

Share your ideas, how you feel, and encourage others to do the same. We share in
each other’s successes and failures.


ADOPT AN INFINITE MINDSET

Focus on momentum towards the greater vision. Build something that will outlast
every one of us.


OPEN COMPANY, NO BULLSHIT

Openness is root level for us. Information is open internally by default and
sharing is the first principle. And we understand that speaking your mind
requires equal parts brains (what to say), thoughtfulness (when to say it), and
caring (how it’s said).               


PLAY, AS A TEAM

We spend a huge amount of our time at work. So the more that time doesn’t feel
like “work,” the better. We can be serious, without taking ourselves too
seriously. We strive to put what’s right for the team first – whether in a
meeting room or on a football pitch


ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING

Find something positive in every situation and every person. Look for humor and
lightness, even in challenging situations.        


DON’T #@!% THE CUSTOMER

Customers are our lifeblood. Without happy customers, we’re doomed. So
considering the customer perspective - collectively, not just a handful - comes
first.
