Profile

4Di Capital is a Cape Town-based venture capital fund management firm focused on early-stage technology investments in sub-Saharan Africa.

Launched in 2009 by a group of successful founders and tech entrepreneurs with a vision to help build and scale African start-ups, 4Di Capital was one of the continent’s earliest venture fund managers, and is widely considered one of its most experienced and trusted investors.

Passionately committed to innovation on the continent, 4Di is a staunch advocate for African entrepreneurs, whom they believe are well-placed to quickly and cost-effectively develop solutions to some of the world’s most pressing challenges – from socio-economic inclusion to green technology, health equity, transportation and infrastructure.

Known for their professional mentoring, partnership-style approach and skill encouraging alignment among investors and board directors, 4Di has become a preferred funder to Africa's best and brightest founders, and a respected voice helping to elevate best-in-class African businesses internationally.
