Investing for impact
We support entrepreneurs who are passionate about people and planet
Our Story
We are a family of Impact focused entrepreneurs who have been investing in Private Equity and Venture Capital since 2005, supporting great entrepreneurs and fund managers who invest globally.
We built sdv. as our investment vehicle to support our mission to channel more capital to entrepreneurs on a global scale, with a strong focus on Africa and South and South-East Asia
What we do
sdv allocates capital in three ways:
1. We incubate solutions primarily in the SaaS, web3 and creator economy by bringing together teams, ideas and resources. We act like a Venture Studio for projects we are passionate about:
2. We invest directly into start-ups;
3. We invest as an LP directly in Venture Capital funds.
Our Vision
We are extremely passionate about solving a few problems:
(i) How to mobilize more capital to entrepreneurs in developing countries that are building solutions that ultimately 'level the playing field'; drive social change & environmental awareness and create long-term, meaningful employment.
(ii) How to use the web3 features of decentralization and radical transparency to build trust to ensure a more efficient flow of capital.
