“Investing in phenomenal African businesses, driven by a commitment to creating a positive impact on the continent's future.”
Nubia Capital is a US-based, pan-African venture capital firm led by Managing Partner Olaide Lawal and Co-Managing Partner Davidson Oturu. The firm backs early-stage African startups and global companies addressing African market challenges, with a portfolio of 12+ companies across Nigeria, Ghana, Egypt, and the UK/Africa diaspora.
The investment approach goes beyond capital, with the team providing strategic guidance, regulatory insight, and ecosystem support. Oturu serves as a private sector representative on Nigeria's National Council for Digital Innovation and Entrepreneurship, which gives the firm direct policy-level connections that most VCs lack. The portfolio spans fintech (Flick, Regxta, Phundit), healthtech (Blueroomcare, UltraTeb, Fertitude, Syndicate Bio), and AI-powered platforms (EATO, Niteon, Greenbaq AI), with a consistent theme of building products that serve underserved populations.
