Industry focus
AlphaCode Venture Partners focuses on financial services (banking and payments, lending, insurance, savings and investments, asset management), and tangential industries (e.g. education, health, agriculture and climate), where there may be an embedded financial services value proposition or application.
Geography
We invest in framework-driven, focused African markets that have either large or emerging, fast-growing financial services industries and enabling macro-economic and regulatory dynamics. Target businesses are headquartered/registered in Africa (primarily South Africa); or are domiciled elsewhere but have a strategic focus, market footprint and/or operational capability in Africa; or are African businesses with regional and/or global relevance.
