Compiled from public sources

Sahara Impact Ventures is an Accra-based, female-led, and majority-owned venture capital firm and investment advisor. Founded in 2023, the firm specialises in providing long-term "patient" capital and strategic support to tech-enabled small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) across Sub-Saharan Africa. Its investment strategy is rooted in a "Just Transition" framework, prioritising businesses that drive climate resilience, sustainable food systems, and access to essential services. A core component of its operations is the integration of a gender-lens approach, aimed at bridging the gender financing gap by identifying and scaling businesses led by women or those that significantly impact female communities.
