“Investing in companies that use technology to reshape markets across sub-Saharan Africa.”
Timon Capital is a venture capital firm founded in 2018, headquartered in Lagos and New York, focused on seed-stage technology companies reshaping markets across sub-Saharan Africa. The firm has deployed over $79 million into African startups (including co-investment rounds) and has made 8+ notable investments across B2B commerce, logistics, fintech, education, and healthcare.
The portfolio reflects a clear pattern: technology platforms that digitise traditional industries and enable B2B efficiency. Investments include Lori Systems ($30 million Series A, digital freight logistics), Wasoko (formerly Sokowatch, $14 million Series A, informal retail distribution), Omnibiz ($5 million seed, B2B e-commerce for retailers), Decagon ($1.5 million seed, software engineering training), and Thepeer ($2.1 million seed, fintech API infrastructure). The firm targets companies with functional products and early indications of traction, and positions itself as a first institutional investor that can support through to growth-stage equity financing.
