Wuri Ventures is a venture capital firm based in Dakar, Senegal, and Redwood City, California. Named after an ancient African mathematical game akin to Go, the firm connects traditional African culture with modern technology. Led by General Partner Tijan Watt, who brings experience from entrepreneurship, Goldman Sachs, and private equity in Nigeria, Wuri Ventures supports world-class entrepreneurs tackling Africa's challenges through innovation. The firm invests in early-stage startups across Africa, with a focus on seed and venture stages. Its activity from January 2022 to January 2023 included three funding rounds totaling $8.0M: a $6.5M venture round in Jetstreamafrica (AI & Analytics, Ghana) in January 2023, a $1.0M seed round in Norebase (Productivity & Workspace, Nigeria) in May 2022, and a $500K seed round in Kotanipay (Fintech, Kenya) in January 2022. This reflects a geographic preference for West and East Africa.
