Venture capital firm
EchoVC Partners LLC
EchoVC Partners is a seed and early-stage technology venture capital firm founded in 2011 and headquartered in Lagos, Nigeria. The firm specialises in financing and "cross-pollinating" leading technologies, teams, and business models across Sub-Saharan Africa, North America, and Southeast Asia. EchoVC adopts a thesis-driven and "Sequoia-style" institutional approach, focusing on underrepresented founders and underserved markets. Its strategy targets the intersection of consumer, media, data, and devices, leveraging knowledge transfer from Silicon Valley to seed growth across borders. The firm acts as a stage-agnostic partner for category-defining companies, maintaining a hands-on operational focus through its "EchoVC+" and "Eco" specialised fund streams.
