There will be multi-stage support, access to high-value networks, fast-tracked market penetration aimed at optimizing the outcomes for both investors and startups.
Mahyar Makhzani, Founding Partner at GIIG pointed out that they are not just launching a new fund but rather discovering a new way of finding and funding startups across Africa given the vigorous competition and vetting process for those eligible for funding.
The fund remains open to qualified investors and looks to raise $100 million in capital commitment for investing in tech and innovation across Africa within the next three years.
