Obuntu Foundation

Obuntu Foundation is dedicated to advancing the next generation of Africa-focused Emerging Fund Managers. With a mission to empower those who have been founders and operators in Africa, Obuntu Foundation recognizes the unique ability of these managers to drive both superior and inclusive returns for the continent. By channeling capital to underrepresented founders, geographies, and opportunities, Obuntu Foundation is at the forefront of fostering sustainable growth.

Located in Washington D.C., US, Obuntu Foundation operates as a vital support ecosystem for emerging fund managers. The organization provides the essential knowledge, community, and resources necessary for success in a challenging landscape. Through its flagship initiative, the Obuntu Launchpad Fellowship, the foundation selects up to 15 fellows to support them on their journey to launch and accelerate their first investment vehicle. This invite-only virtual Fellowship is designed specifically for first-time Fund Managers with a sharp focus on Africa.

As a 501(c)(3) organization with public charity status 509(a)(2), Obuntu Foundation is committed to driving impactful change in the venture capital and private equity sectors. We invite the managers of Obuntu Foundation to create a customized and exclusive company showcase and product listing on our platform to further amplify their mission and reach.
