BELLATRIX Investment Managers will today launch the Ndjaba Seed Fund, targeting early-stage businesses across southern Africa as part of efforts to close a persistent funding gap.
The fund is aimed at startups that have moved beyond the idea stage but lack the capital needed to validate and scale their operations.
Managing director Jesaya Hano-Oshike says the initiative is designed to address limited access to early-stage funding in the region.
“Southern Africa has a strong pipeline of entrepreneurs with the potential to build impactful businesses. However, access to early-stage capital remains limited. The Ndjaba Seed Fund is designed to bridge this gap by providing both funding and the support needed to scale,” he says.
Although based in Namibia, the fund will invest across southern Africa, backing businesses with the potential to grow and expand into multiple markets.
