Vegan Africa Fund
We support ventures with local traction and a global vision.
Motivation
Africa has 17% of the global population, yet receives less than 1% of venture funding. Entrepreneurs currently lack access to capital to grow their businesses, and Africa is the most profitable region in the world to invest.
Projections from analysts like Bloomberg Intelligence show that the global vegan food market will to grow over 500% by 2030. We want to empower African eco-ventures to thrive in this time by helping them expand and become globally competitive.

Why Now?
Climate change threatens life as we know it, and the best solution, which is supported by United Nations' scientists, is that the majority of the world shifts to a plant-based diet.
Africa has not yet seen mass-adoption of rainforest destruction and factory farming. How consumer decisions are shaped in the next decade will determine sustainability in the future. We invest in companies now that will lead the vegan product markets across Africa and globally in the next century.
