Ambo Ventures
Ambo Ventures is a venture capital investment firm raising $50M to invest in impact-driven and socially responsible startups across different countries in Africa. Our intention is to help create self-sustaining ecosystems across our geographies. We identify critical obstacles to the creation of value in ecosystems and invest in a portfolio of complementary companies that, together, can unblock the value chain. Our current deal flow stems from Kenya, Morocco and Nigeria and we’ll be focussing on Series A/B, with opportunistic seed investments. We invest in companies that are reducing core infrastructure costs and accelerating income growth. Our investments protect biodiversity and reduce carbon (a carbon-free future is the only future), empower women, and increase incomes. Ambo will be facilitating annual impact metric reporting for our portfolio companies, focusing on these core objectives. We expect gross fund returns to be driven by (i) exits and (ii) transactions in the carbon offset market.
