Curated · Researched · Founder-led
Back the next generation of African companies, early.
A short list of ventures that did the work: a clear thesis, real numbers, an honest view of the risks and terms that make sense. Founders apply. We read every application. Most don't get listed.

The first cohort is being reviewed.
We'd rather list five excellent ventures than fifty forgettable ones. Join the investor list to hear when new ventures go live, or apply if you're raising.
What we look for
Something true about the market that most smart people haven't noticed yet. If the opportunity is obvious, it's usually crowded.
Revenue, retention, pilots, letters of intent, cited market data. “Huge market” and “first of its kind” don't count.
Teams with specific, earned knowledge of the problem, whether built at home or in the diaspora.
A clear view of what could go wrong, and a raise sized to real milestones. No guaranteed returns, ever.
For founders
- Apply with a short deal memo: problem, insight, traction, market, team, terms and risks.
- We review by hand, usually within a week, and may ask questions.
- If listed, investors request intros and we connect you by email.
For investors
- Join the investor list: tell us your ticket size and sectors.
- Read memos written to a consistent standard, including the risks.
- Request an intro. The founders take it from there.
Jump.AFRICA Ventures is an introduction service. Listings are information provided by founders, not offers of securities, and Jump.AFRICA does not give investment advice, hold investor money or take part in any transaction. Investing in early-stage ventures is high-risk: you can lose all of your money. Do your own due diligence and take independent advice.
