Investing to build a meritocratic Africa

Ingressive Capital set out 7 years ago with the aim to create an ecosystem where founders propel the success of the next generation through democratized access to technical education, entrepreneurship, and capital.

As our portfolio companies scale and achieve liquidity, we actively foster a culture of reinvestment, nurturing a new generation of founders who will continue to drive innovation and prosperity.

Mission

Our mission is to identify, invest in and support the scale of pre-seed, high-growth Pan-African tech startups that focus on disruptive innovation and bolster our pursuit of our broader purpose. We utilize a multifaceted approach and unique investment philosophy; functioning as ecosystem architects, building a pipeline of founder and talent resources and structuring our portfolio as such that companies support and scale each other.

Vision

We aim to build a meritocratic Africa by scaling indigenous-owned, high-growth tech startups and using equity to create trans-generational African wealth. Our goal is to foster an ecosystem where founders propel the success of the next generation through access to technical education, entrepreneurship, and capital.

How we invest

Ingressive Capital aims to catalyze the African continent by investing in GDP-transforming tech-enabled African startups in the pre-seed and seed stages.

Our investment thesis focuses on leveraging the operational expertise of our team to accelerate the growth of early-stage African startups in Egypt, Ghana, Kenya, Morocco, and Nigeria.

Ingressive Capital aims to drive technological advancements in sectors such as financial services, marketplace, and wellbeing by providing strategic support to founders with a clear vision and strong technical expertise. The goal is to disrupt traditional practices and create innovative solutions that will generate measurable value for businesses and communities across the continent. Through targeted investments and guidance, we seek to foster scalable businesses that contribute to economic development and improved quality of life in Africa..
