Profile

Botswana Tech Fund is a venture capital firm based in Southern Africa, focusing on investing in technology companies that are building Africa’s digital infrastructure. The firm is led by Managing Partner Martin Davis, an experienced technology operator with past leadership roles including CEO of FTSE 250–listed Molten Ventures. The team comprises seasoned investors and advisors with backgrounds in technology and corporate leadership, aiming to support startups through both capital and strategic guidance. The firm emphasizes long-term collaboration rather than just capital infusion.

Targeting sectors such as digital infrastructure, AI, blockchain, and finance technology, Botswana Tech Fund typically invests in a range of stages from pre-seed to Series C. They provide funding primarily across Southern Africa, with a thematic focus supporting both early-stage innovation and growth-stage scale. Their investment in this region addresses the funding gap in Southern African tech ecosystems, and they have strategic partnerships with local enterprise networks.

Notable companies in their portfolio include Revolut - global fintech service, Trustpilot - online review platform, Ledger - blockchain security, UiPath - automation software, and Bethnal Green Ventures - early-stage tech for good fund. They offer a blend of financial investment, strategic guidance, and regional expansion facilitation to founders.
