“The venture investment arm of Prosus/Naspers, a South African-rooted global technology group, deploying corporate venture capital into consumer internet and fintech businesses including several with African operations.”
Prosus Ventures is the venture capital arm of Prosus, the global technology investment group whose corporate lineage traces back to South African media group Naspers. Prosus's broader portfolio spans over 80 companies across 100-plus markets, and its African exposure includes M-KOPA, the pay-as-you-go asset financing company operating across Kenya, Uganda, Nigeria, and Ghana, alongside South African platforms like AutoTrader and Property24 and Egyptian investment platform Thndr.
Prosus's African roots run deeper than most global corporate VCs: Naspers itself grew from a South African print and media business into one of the continent's largest technology investors globally, which shapes Prosus Ventures' comfort with African market dynamics relative to other corporate venture arms.
