Oke's background includes co-founding an Africa-focused venture builder, experience that shapes the firm's operator-informed approach to deal selection. The full composition of the investment committee has not been publicly disclosed.
Which geographies does V8 Ventures invest in?
The firm's primary market is Nigeria, with additional investment activity extending to Ghana and Kenya. This pan-West African reach with an East African footprint reflects a regional strategy common among Lagos-headquartered growth investors seeking diversification beyond a single national economy.
