  • Engineering – We have strategic partnerships with studios that will help our early-stage companies through major technical decisions.
  • Sales – We advise our founders on how to build the best sales engines that turn little resources into more.

Companies We have Worked With

We set up our founder meetups and discuss a wide range of topics from Product to Engineering to Growth and enable our portfolio companies to learn from one another.

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.
