Building Africa’s Digital Foundation
AfriLeap Capital Ltd is a venture studio that identifies critical gaps in Africa’s digital infrastructure
and builds companies to fill them.
Our Mission
“To build and scale the foundational technology companies that will digitize Africa’s core economic sectors, starting with trade and logistics.”
How We Execute This Mission
1. The Builder Mandate
We don’t just invest — we build. We identify critical gaps in Africa’s digital infrastructure and
create companies to fill them.
- First Builds: KwikaPay + KwikaMove
- Future: Climate, AgriTech, Health, Education
2. Ecosystem Philosophy
We build interconnected companies that reinforce one another and create network effects.
Example: KwikaMove runs on KwikaPay — instant validation, real usage, real revenue.
3. African-First Design
We build for African realities: mobile-first usage, fragmented regulation, multi-currency flows,
and real operational constraints.
Built by Africans. For African markets.
