Frequently asked questions
What is Unique Venture Capital Management's investment strategy?
UVCMC pursues a multi-stage strategy that includes early-stage venture, growth equity, late-stage expansion, management buyouts, spin-offs, divestitures, and restructurings. This broad mandate allows the firm to invest in young startups as well as acquire and restructure underperforming or non-core corporate assets. The strategy is anchored in Nigeria and the broader West African market, where few firms operate across both the venture and distressed ends of the spectrum.
Where does Unique Venture Capital Management invest geographically?
The firm is headquartered in Lagos and invests primarily in Nigeria. Its investment activity, particularly in divestitures and restructurings, often involves Nigerian subsidiaries of global companies or local conglomerates, giving it exposure to West African economic dynamics.
