Savannah Fund I

Compiled from public sources

Savannah Fund I is a pioneer early-stage venture capital and accelerator fund managed by the Mauritius-headquartered Savannah Fund. Established in 2012, the fund was structured to bridge the early-stage angel and venture capital funding gap across Sub-Saharan Africa, initially concentrating on East Africa before expanding its footprint. The fund provides seed equity investments, follow-on capital, and accelerator support to technology-enabled, high-growth startups operating across financial technology, logistics, e-commerce, digital media, healthcare, and education. Fund I closed in 2012 with backing from high-net-worth tech entrepreneurs, Silicon Valley angels, and international venture capital networks.
