African
Startup Ecosystem

The African tech startup scene is an exciting and dynamic space, with many innovative and ambitious entrepreneurs working to drive growth and development across the continent.

Driven by a combination of factors such as increasing access to technology, a growing middle class, and a youthful population, many African startups are focused on solving local problems and addressing the unique challenges faced by the continent, such as financial inclusion, energy access, and healthcare.

We have made investments in fintech, clean energy, and healthtech with almost all portfolio companies being able to collaborate with each other.

Portfolio

Push Ventures leverages on-the-ground operational expertise and relationships to build our portfolio of early-stage African technology companies. We look for standout founders using technology to solve Africa-specific problems and financials that show a clear path to break-even, self-funding and return on investment - yes we're different! Our founders and shareholders have extensive experience operating successful businesses across Africa and beyond allowing us to offer our startups far more than money!

Push Events

January 6, 2023 Nairobi

We organised an informal conversation with Ananth Narayanan, founder of India's fastest unicorn. In attendance were members of the Push community including investors and founders.

Thanks to the overwhelming response both at the event and among those that watched the live stream, we will be organising more such events through the course of the year.
