Delta40

Delta40 is a venture studio and venture capital fund that invests in, builds and scales technology-enabled climate innovations across Africa. It is led by experienced Founders and Operators working on the continent. Its stated mission is to increase incomes and tackle climate change in Africa through inclusive, planet-positive ventures that improve quality of life.

The firm operates through two vehicles. The Delta40 Venture Studio provides hands-on support, shared services and partnerships to ventures and Founders, with the aim of increasing speed, returns and impact. The Delta40 VC Fund invests in technology-enabled climate innovations. Sector focus covers clean energy, mobility, agri-food technology and climate fintech. The stated ambition for Founders is to go from idea to scale to exit, with the goal of delivering innovations to the last mile across Africa.

Delta40 frames its work around demographic projections for the continent: Africa's population is expected to reach 4.2 billion people by 2100, or roughly 40% of the world's population, with 70% of Africa's population currently under the age of 30. The firm describes itself as building a community of Founders around these opportunities. Further information is available at delta40.com.
