Beyond Just Capital: We Are Growing African Startups.
Traditional venture capital models overlook the unique needs of African businesses, creating a critical support gap. We founded Live Capital to solve this problem.
African startups demand more than capital; they need strategic guidance, industry connections, and deep local market insights to navigate their growth journeys successfully. At Live Capital, this is what we provide.
