We invest in Africa's most remarkable teams with technical founders at the earliest stage of their venture

First we invest $15,000 for 7.5% equity stake, followed by an additional $50,000 convertible note at a $1 million valuation cap in companies that show significant progress after our initial investment

We introduce startups to later stage investors and help them navigate the process of raising a larger round of funding

We write the first check before traction and work closely with founders providing strategic support as needed.

We identify the best early-stage, growth-driven technology startups with the potential to become billion dollar companies

We get startups to a point where they are impressive enough to raise more funding or join world class accelerators

Our investors are Venture Capitalists and Angels on the look out for great startups

Founders can apply for investment at anytime, all year round without an intro

Our startups have a direct line to capital to scale from Seed to Series A and beyond

Our network gives access to companies that would otherwise be hard to reach

Microtraction funds smart, relentlessly resourceful founders who are building high growth, technology driven businesses in $Bn markets

We are sector agnostic and geographically focused on Nigeria at launch
