We believe in the need to build a stronger technology and entrepreneur-centric ecosystem on the continent. Our contribution is not only to partner with entrepreneurs by providing capital and business building capabilities, but also to develop relevant tools for the African VC community of entrepreneurs, investors, talent, advisors and corporate players.

The TIDE Foundation
In recognition of the significant role that entrepreneurship, technology and innovation can play in developing economies, TLcom has set up the TIDE (Technology and Innovation for Developing Economies) Foundation, a not-for-profit organization aimed at providing non-investment yet critical services to promote local entrepreneurship in Africa, such as training in venture capital in partnership with global academic institutions and local incubators. The Foundation is led by Maurizio and Andreata.
The Investors Database
TLcom has published an open-access collaborative platform listing angel and VC investors focused on investing across Africa, including their focus areas and contact details. The information is dynamically updated and enriched by the community, giving up to date intelligence about potential investors at all stage of the venture capital cycle.
