Who We are

We are builders just like you

Way before we started this fund, we founded startups and were part of early-stage companies. We understand just how amazing or hard doing a startup can be, therefore we will listen, empathize and give real advise. 

Equator Invest is a Swedish based early-stage venture studio,  building Fintech companies in East-Africa

We appreciate your interest in Equator Invest! We will be looking to learn about your company.

Please give us a maximum 2 weeks to look at your Deck and get back to you.

Kindly take note, that we do no invest in any businesses with a heavy focus on Hardware, Manufacturing, Fashion, Entertainment. We prefer to only invest in Africa (Primarily Eastern Africa but anywhere else within Africa is fine), SEA, Europe or Diaspora founders with a focus on the African continent and most importantly, we have a preference for Delaware C-corps.

What should I Include in my Pitch Deck:

It is helpful if you explicitly include quantitative pieces of data that clearly demonstrate traction:

  • Such as your overall user base 
  • Growth rate 
  • Monthly revenue run-rate and its growth rate. 
  • If you previously created successful companies or projects, do mention them as well.
