About Us

At African Founders Fund (AFF), our mission is to advance Africa by solving the world’s hardest problems. We believe that empowering entrepreneurs of Africa who seek to improve the lives of the people around them is the best way to create more opportunity globally.

AFF invests from a balance sheet of permanent capital to fuel entrepreneurship at all stages, all over Africa, so that we can partner with entrepreneurs for as long as it takes. We leverage data and machine learning to build great companies and then help them be operationally excellent to drive long term success.
