VestedWorld

VestedWorld is a Chicago-based venture capital firm founded by Euler Bropleh that has been investing in African startups since 2014. The firm has deployed over $20 million across 30+ companies and operates with a team that includes Africa-based staff in Ghana, Nigeria, and Kenya.

Fund II (2018-2022) was a $10.9 million closed-end fund with 13 portfolio companies, and the Rising Star Fund (launched 2022) raised $20 million toward a $35 million target. The investment thesis draws from Asia's economic development trajectory, focusing on agricultural modernisation, industrialisation, value-added manufacturing, and technology-enabled services that leapfrog outdated infrastructure. The firm covers an unusually wide sector range, from agribusiness and healthcare to creative industries (Inkblot, a Nigerian film production company, is in the portfolio alongside aquaculture and pharmaceutical distribution companies).
