Atika is a thesis-driven Africa-focused venture fund, providing pre-seed and seed stage capital to consumer technology and product start-ups across the real sectors in Nigeria and Kenya

We believe that revolutionary startups solve problems for and impact the lives of the bottom of the pyramid...the 99%. And so we back companies that are building better consumer solutions and driving large-scale change across some of the largest categories of consumer spending that are ready for lift off, particularly across Food & Ag; Retail & Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG); Healthcare and Education

We're in search of founders that have a proven track record of execution, strong technical expertise, diverse & equitable teams, and who are making a financial and social impact.

We are operators that have funded, founded and scaled consumer brands across Africa's retail, FMCG, food, media & entertainment industries. This means we share similar experiences to founders. 

Through our deep global networks, we support our start-up CEOs, in Africa and the diaspora, with valuable connections and constant strategic operational guidance  as they build the necessary structures to scale across Africa and globally.

We invest with a gender lens, giving more opportunities for female founders and diverse teams to get funded.
