Our mission
VestedWorld’s mission is to serve as a trusted partner to entrepreneurs by removing barriers to access, catalyzing capital, and nurturing growth, while delivering competitive financial returns to our investors and contributing to societal impact.
With an eye on high-growth industries, we target early-stage companies with tremendous potential to create meaningful jobs, provide fair wages and fuel widespread economic progress throughout their local and regional markets.
We leverage our deep knowledge and networks to identify businesses that can play a role in transforming industries and places where we invest. We allow our investors to do well by doing good, diversifying their portfolios and earning competitive returns while addressing global development goals.
Everyone benefits as these companies thrive - the entrepreneurs; employees of the companies and their families; the company’s suppliers, customers, and partners; local, regional, and national governments; the company’s investors; and the global community. Each company’s success enables us to provide financial returns and evidence of credible impact to our investors, allowing us to invest in more businesses, create greater impact, and improve lives and livelihoods around the world.
Our Purpose
We are Africans for the betterment of other Africans supporting entrepreneurs early to succeed at scale.
We understand the role that the private sector can play in unlocking economic growth. Our aim is to be a catalytic force in that process. When you look at how economies develop, they tend to take a similar path -- driven by agricultural development, industrialization, entrepreneurship, innovation, strategic investment, and global competitiveness. At VestedWorld, we believe in empowering the next generation of businesses and entrepreneurs in Africa, where untapped potential meets transformative opportunity. By connecting visionary founders with the capital, expertise, and networks they need to thrive, we’re not just investing in businesses—we’re building ecosystems that create jobs, foster innovation, and drive sustainable progress. Together, we’re shaping a future where economic growth is inclusive, impactful, and enduring.
Investment Strategy
There are a few trends that are driving Africa’s growth and development that inform our investment strategy.
Our belief that Africa will become the “next East Asia” is the foundation of our investment thesis. In order for this to happen, we need to take the key lessons learned through the history of economic development in Asia and apply it to the markets where we invest.
Asia’s transformation was built on a foundation of improving agricultural productivity, which freed up labor and resources for industrialization. This shift was further accelerated by export growth, import substitution, and the strategic adoption of technology to leapfrog traditional development stages. At VestedWorld, we focus on identifying and supporting businesses that are driving similar transformative trends across Africa.
We invest in agribusinesses that are modernizing farming practices and increasing yields, in industries that are creating value-added products for both local and global markets, and in tech-enabled solutions that are leapfrogging outdated infrastructure to deliver essential services. By backing companies that align with these growth drivers, we aim to catalyze the same virtuous cycle of economic development that propelled Asia’s rise.
The continent's potential is further underscored by key trends shaping its future: a demographic shift with a youth bulge that promises a dynamic and growing workforce; rapid rural-urban migration fueling demand for housing, infrastructure, and services; and rising consumer spending as incomes grow. Agricultural capacity is expanding, with opportunities in value-added post-harvest processing and import substitution reducing reliance on foreign goods. Africa’s rising soft power is also creating new opportunities in creative industries, while scalable platforms and technologies are transforming sectors like finance, healthcare, and education.
Our strategy is not just about capital deployment—it’s about fostering ecosystems that enable sustainable growth, create jobs, and unlock the immense potential of Africa’s people and resources. Together, we’re building the foundation for Africa to become the next global economic powerhouse.
The story behind our firm
2024+
VestedWorld has a presence in Ghana, Nigeria, and Kenya with a full-time, diverse team based in and from Africa. We launched our second closed-end fund (VestedWorld Rising Star Fund) in 2022 and received commitments from a range of existing and new investors comprised of high-net worth individuals, members of the African diaspora, foundations, and institutional investors.
2017
Euler asked Nneka Eze to join the VestedWorld Investment Committee in advance of launching our first closed-end fund (VestedWorld Fund II), a US$10.9 million fund with no institutional capital. The fund invested in 13 companies from 2018 to 2022 including Victory Farm, Tomato Jos, DrugStoc, Shuttlers, and Kasha.
2014
VestedWorld was founded by Euler Bropleh. Initially, we invested in companies on a "deal by deal" through SPVs (a series LLC called VestedWorld Africa Fund). We had completed four investments by 2017 using this model.
Our mantra
01
Respect & authenticity
We bring our full selves to our work—we know who we are and are genuine in our interactions, which requires courage and honesty. We remain true to our beliefs in a world where herd mentality is common.
We show consideration and appreciation for and give due regard to each other, our partners, and everyone else that we interact with, and we will treat each person with the dignity they deserve.
02
Justice
We act to create a more equitable world through our investments, while we understand and confront our implicit biases, with a sense of urgency for transformational change. This commitment is based on our knowledge that opportunity, access, and luck are not evenly distributed.
We know that anti-Black racism and gender bias are among many issues affecting equitable access to funding, and we commit to racial and gender diversity, equity and inclusion to combat this.
03
True partnership
We are on a challenging journey and acknowledge that we will not be able to achieve our goals alone. Relationships come first. We hope to build strong partnerships by choosing the hard right over the easy wrong and being supportive in both the best and the worst of times.
04
Growth mindset
We seek new ideas, engage in active, empathetic listening, and strive for continuous improvement. We don’t have all of the answers, but we are eager to explore the solutions to some of the world’s most pressing issues.
05
Balance
We believe that balance and the health and wellbeing of our community is necessary to achieve sustainable progress and are committed to championing this in our community.
