Ventures Platform Fund

10 years! 🎉 A decade ago, we started with a simple belief — that Africa's most transformative ideas were already here, waiting to be backed, built, and believed in. From an on-campus accelerator in an art-wrapped container building to an institutional fund that has backed over 100 companies across the continent — we've spent ten years investing in founders, in systems, and in the environments where innovation takes root. As we mark this anniversary, we've been reflecting on what the next ten years ask of us. So in the spirit of who we are, we've partnered with the Pan-Atlantic University Pan-Atlantic University and Yemisi Shyllon Museum of Art Yemisi Shyllon Museum of Art (YSMA) on two initiatives: a Student Entrepreneurship Engagement Programme and the VP–YSMA Futures Art Award. Because the next ten years will be built by people who are equal parts curious, creative, and courageous.
