Venture capital firm
Simple Capital (Pty) Ltd.
Simple Capital Partners (Pty) Ltd is a South African investment platform and venture capital firm that focuses on democratising access to early-stage, hyper-growth technology companies. Founded in 2020 by Willem van der Post, the firm operates with a "Founders-first" attitude, providing not only capital but also operational support in critical areas such as finance, sales, and people management. Its investment strategy involves pre-screening and pre-vetting startups to offer private and corporate investors access to high-potential deals that were historically reserved for larger family offices or corporate finance departments. The company aims to reduce investor risk through curated, diversified portfolios while increasing liquidity by allowing shares in its investment holding companies to be traded once they are ready for liquidity.
