Noru Capital

We invest up to USD 250k in pre-seed and seed rounds of tech startups in Francophone West Africa.

#1 - Financing businesses from the idea stage. Noru Capital is one of the first players in the region capable of financing entrepreneurs with brilliant profiles from the idea stage, in the form of an equity stake.

#2 - Giving companies the power to adapt their financing to their strategy. We enable companies to raise the amounts they need, at the right time, and several times over to support their growth. We offer an investment programme with amounts tailored to the three key stages of early-stage financing. This enables them to secure not one but three rounds of funding to support their growth through the three key stages of early-stage: prototyping and marketing, acceleration, and preparing for scale-up.

#3 - Making entrepreneurship attractive to the brightest minds. We look for founders with the best profiles, and create the conditions necessary for them to be able to concentrate calmly on developing their company. We invest and co-create with them to change the narrative about entrepreneurship and make it a path of excellence.

#4 - Invest in impact businesses. We invest in companies that contribute to achieving one or more of the Sustainable Development Goals, and that adopt best practice in terms of management and governance.
