MANIFESTO
Africa is the next frontier to VC investments.
We see tremendous opportunities at the intersection of Technology, the world's fastest-growing populations, and Africa traditional economies. We know there is Talent but not enough capital and appropriate resources to grow scalable businesses on the continent.
We want to be part of the change and enable brilliant entrepreneurs to grow successful businesses from Africa to the World, thus creating more quality deal-flow for the ecosystem, and, ultimately, the Success Stories our continent needs. These are the Outliers we are looking for.
We are backed by some of the world's brightest, most successful entrepreneurs, VC firms and angel investors. We are pioneers. We have an entrepreneurial attitude. We see opportunities where others see risks. We are Outlierz.
