Venture capital firm
Oui Capital
Oui Capital is a venture capital firm that focuses exclusively on early-stage technology startups in Africa and frontier markets. Founded in 2019 by Olu Oyinsan and Francesco Andreoli, the firm is headquartered in Lagos, Nigeria, with additional operations in the United States. Oui Capital employs a "founder-first" investment strategy, aiming to bridge the financing gap for high-growth startups by providing pre-seed and seed-stage capital alongside hands-on mentorship. The firm targets technology-enabled solutions in high-impact sectors, particularly those revolutionising trade, financial services, and healthcare infrastructure. In February 2025, the firm made history as one of the first African venture capital firms to return its debut fund (Mentors Fund I) to investors following significant liquidity events, including a partial exit from Moniepoint.
