Timon Capital is a venture capital firm that invests in technology-enabled companies primarily within Sub-Saharan Africa and other emerging markets. Founded in 2018, the firm is based in Lagos, Nigeria, with additional operations in Brooklyn, New York. Its investment strategy focuses on backing exceptional founders, with a primary concentration on Seed-stage opportunities where a functional product and early traction are present.
