Nigeria’s visionary investor and tech leader Kola Aina is taking Africa’s startup ecosystem to new heights! His Lagos-based venture capital firm, Ventures Platform, has raised an impressive $64 million in the first close of its second Pan-African fund — a major milestone for the continent’s innovation landscape.
Global Confidence in African Innovation
The fund attracted backing from some of the world’s most respected investors, including the International Finance Corporation (IFC), Standard Bank, British International Investment (BII), Proparco, AfricaGrow, and Nigeria’s iDICE program — underscoring growing global confidence in Africa’s tech-driven future.
Driving Expansion Across the Continent
With this new capital, Ventures Platform will help scale startups beyond Nigeria into North Africa and Francophone regions, empowering visionary founders in fintech, healthtech, agritech, edtech, and AI — sectors at the heart of Africa’s digital transformation.
Proven Track Record:
Since its launch in 2016, Ventures Platform has invested in over 90 groundbreaking startups, including Moniepoint, LemFi, Thrive Agric, OmniRetail, and PiggyVest — several of which have achieved unicorn status and global recognition.
