Investments
Obudu's process for allocating capital is centered on supporting climate adaptation and climate mitigation in Africa.
In addition to the investment of capital, we run an operational structure to give our companies active support in strategic, financing, exit planning, as well as talent.
Obudu Capital works actively with founders to implement ESG structures and practices to deepen their impact.
How we invest
We are specialists in climate, with expertise spanning carbon sources and sinks, including energy, mobility, food systems, industry, and carbon management.
We specialize in Pre-seed and Seed stage opportunities, with the flexibility to go later.
We lean toward software, and we also invest in hardware that creates a step-change improvement over the status quo.
We look for models that are working in tech that could be applied to climate for rapid impact.
How we support our companies
We are a people-first firm and apply tailored help at each stage of the founders journey.
As a Network Fund, we bring a global network and community that we have built over the past decade to our founders.
We have deep experience working alongside entrepreneurs as they deploy technology with customers, and we can help companies align themselves for project finance and other forms of capital beyond VC to scale
Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles are embedded in our DNA – we help our portfolio companies find resources to source more diverse candidates for open positions and board seats.
