About
Catalyst Fund is a pre-seed high-impact fund backing tech entrepreneurs who are scaling solutions for a more climate-resilient future. Our thesis focuses on supporting mission-driven, local and women founders offering climate adaptation solutions that improve the resilience of climate-vulnerable communities in Africa. The fund will invest across several sectors including agtech and food systems, insurtech and climate fintech, agro-forestry, cold chain, waste, sustainable energy and water management.
We take an active, hands-on venture-building approach that leverages our experience as founders and operators in emerging markets, supporting startups on tech, product, data, marketing challenges and more. Over the past 7 years, we have backed 71 startups across 15 emerging markets, 10 out of our new climate fund. Our unique venture-building support led to >$650M follow-on funding raised and an 88% portfolio survival rate.
