The easiest way to invest in Africa
LabEight* is a venture capital firm that invests in early to growth stage tech companies. We take an active, hands-on approach that leverages our entrepreneurial and stage expertise through our Launchpad Accelerator as one of our innovative pipelines.
Through our Syndicates, we aim to invest and partner with entrepreneurs to increase their chance of success by applying our extensive operational knowledge and provide market access through our network.
The goal of LabEight* Capital’s Syndicates is to bridge the early stage and venture capital investment gap that currently exists in Africa. We expect to achieve this objective by combining capital with mentor and partner networks in the continent and globally.
