Jasiri – Catalysing High-Impact Entrepreneurship in Africa

Backing the Talent who Build Africa's Lions.

Jasiri is an Africa-first talent enabler. We back exceptional African founders who want to build — from before the idea exists to the venture ready to scale — with intelligent capital, infrastructure and guidance.

Why Lions & Not Unicorns

We are not looking for unicorns - fast valuations, faster exits. Africa’s opportunity is unlocked by a different kind of venture: the Lion. Durable, rooted, built to endure and to grow the community around it.

We back founders building market-creating innovations — ventures that generate economic activity at scale. MCI is the strategic lens that guides how Jasiri identifies and invests in high-growth opportunities that meaningfully improve lives.

Two Ways to Build with Jasiri

Jasiri Talent Investor

Pre-team, pre-venture.

Jasiri Talent Investor backs exceptional African talent before the venture exists, betting on the individual pre-team and pre-venture. The launchpad provides founder-friendly capital, infrastructure, and guidance from venture formation to market validation.

Our Regional Hub

Jasiri is committed to advancing the wider East African region and South Africa alongside it. To that end, we carefully select fellows from Rwanda, Kenya, Ethiopia, and South Africa, countries whose growth we are proud to invest in.

Our work is strategically aligned with the African Union's vision of a fresh, progressive, dynamic, and interconnected Africa. Rwanda serves as Jasiri's regional hub.
