BuildAfrica Fund for African Builders and Trade

Putting web3 to work for real African trade: shopkeepers, cross-border traders, artists, and the builders who serve them.

Web3 in Africa succeeds when it expands real trade and real opportunity, not when it stays confined to a technical niche. This fund backs the shopkeeper in Nairobi accepting stablecoins, the trader moving goods across borders who needs faster settlement, the artist minting work for a global audience, and the builder shipping the tools that make all of it possible. It exists to put resources directly into the hands of the people bringing African commerce and creativity onchain.
