How does FM Capital Group source its venture deals?
FM Capital Group does not publicly detail its sourcing methodology, but its disclosed portfolio of nine startups is heavily concentrated in Nigeria and includes positions in Ghana, Uganda, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. The geographic focus and small team size suggest a reliance on founder networks and on-the-ground relationships in these markets.
