Investing in Africa's Future—Where Impact Meets Innovation

We fund and scale mission-driven startups advancing the SDGs across Africa—bridging gaps in finance, education, work, and creative opportunity.

The Challenge

Africa's founders face fragmented markets, scarce early-stage capital, and infrastructure gaps—yet they're building the future.

Disconnected regional economies and regulatory environments that limit scalability and market access for innovative startups.

Limited access to first-check funding and risk-averse investors who shy away from Africa's emerging markets.

Critical gaps in digital infrastructure, logistics, and support systems that hinder startup growth and scalability.

FMT Foundation acts as first-check investors and hands-on partners for startups rewriting the rules.

We provide first-check capital to validate bold ideas and get promising startups off the ground. Our investments range from $5K to $50K.

Beyond capital, we offer hands-on support to help founders navigate Africa's complex economies and build sustainable businesses.

We connect portfolio companies to our network of corporates, governments, and global investors for follow-on funding and partnerships.
