The work continues. And with the final close of Fund II, we are ready to do more of it.
Over the last decade, we’ve had the privilege of backing founders early, often before the market fully understood what they were building. That conviction has taken us from our first investments to a portfolio of companies creating new markets and expanding access across Africa.
Today marks another chapter in that journey.
We are pleased to announce the final close of VP Pan-African Fund II at $84M, exceeding our original $75M target.
With this fund, we have greater capacity to find exceptional founders across Africa at the pre-seed, seed and pre-Series A stages, and support them as they build and scale.
To the LPs joining Fund II at its final close - @EBRD, @norfund, Alphatron, @Ashesi University Foundation and others—and to the LPs who backed the fund at its first close, thank you for the conviction and partnership that brought us here. We are equally grateful to all our LPs across prior funds, founders, partners and the wider ecosystem for the opportunity to believe, learn, and build the future alongside you.
It’s still day one.
