Venture capital firm
Delta40
Delta40 is a Nairobi-based venture studio and venture capital fund that operates as a "venture builder," co-founding and investing in early-stage technology startups across Africa. Established in 2021, the firm focuses on a mission to build and scale innovative ventures that address Africa's most urgent challenges, specifically targeting the energy, mobility, agriculture, and financial services sectors. Its investment strategy involves a hands-on "3-step approach": catalysing capital by leading early investments, co-creating companies through deeply embedded operational support (including shared CFO and Chief Commercial Officer services), and leveraging its extensive network for follow-on financing. The firm is structured to turn bold ideas into scalable, high-impact businesses, with a particular focus on climate-smart innovations and artificial intelligence.
