Loyal VC invests early in founders across Africa and globally, with typical ticket sizes of $50K-$200K and applications accepted on a rolling basis. The fund is cross-sector and focuses on founders who are mission-driven, resilient, and able to show results. Applicants must come through one of Loyal’s three networks: INSEAD, Founder Institute, or Loyal’s LP community. Portfolio companies also get access to a network of 1,000+ advisors and may be considered for follow-on investment after extended diligence.
