About Us


ViKtoria Ventures is a consulting and fund management firm focused on access to finance across Sub-Saharan Africa. We believe that funding should be allocated to the most deserving entrepreneurs solving the most pressing needs in the Continent. All our work is centered around achieving this goal.

On the fund management front, Viktoria has been running the VIktoria Business Angels Network from 2016 to date supporting angels with deal sourcing, capacity building and consulting around access to finance. VBAN has made several investments and is a key part of the Kenyan Startup Ecosystem.

Through running VBAN, we have not only been able to understand investors better but also know what works for entrepreneurs who raise funds successfully and scale their businesses. As a result, all our work is grounded on what works within the ecosystems we are active in.

On the entrepreneur side our work is aimed at supporting entrepreneurs to raise funding. On the investors or funders side we support through provision of services that support deployment of funds. In essence our work is to help providers or capital and entrepreneurs understand each other better and to facilitate transactions between them.
