Venture capital firm
Tiger Consumer Brands Limited
Tiger Brands Limited is a Sandton-based packaged goods enterprise and the largest food manufacturer in South Africa. Founded in 1921 as a family business, the group has scaled over the past century through mergers and target clustering, listing on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange in 1944 and officially adopting its modern name in 2000. In mid-2021, the company expanded its financial operations into early-stage market investment by launching the Tiger Brands Venture Capital Fund, its dedicated corporate venture capital arm. This vehicle focuses on securing minority equity stakes in fast-growing FoodTech, AgriTech, health, and nutritional wellness startups across Sub-Saharan Africa, offering investees a direct path to scale by integrating them into the parent company's extensive manufacturing, procurement, and retail distribution channels.
