Our team is composed of active entrepreneurs who have experienced firsthand the pains and inefficiencies of the traditional VC model. We know how limited access to funding, mentorship, and essential resources can hinder a startup's growth and delay its go-to-market strategy. This empathy-driven approach allows us to provide a more supportive and efficient investment model that truly understands and caters to the needs of African tech startups.

The Fellowship Model - A New Era of Venture Capital

Breaking away from the traditional partner and associate model of VC firms, Sandbox Africa Ventures operates on a fellowship model. Our firm is led by managing fellows, and our team is composed of associate fellows and entrepreneurs-in-residence. This unique structural model allows us to create a more collaborative and supportive environment for startups. It fosters stronger partnerships and collaborations, providing startups with immediate access to a network for access to capital, mentorship, and vital resources.
