Investment thesis

COREangels aims to professionalize and globalize angel investing through a network of local angel funds operating under a single shared model. Angels invest collectively in a common portfolio and make investment decisions as a group to achieve diversification, while professional fund leaders handle due diligence, valuations, pre-selection, and reporting. Angel investors actively mentor portfolio founders, and each fund is supported by a full-time team of seasoned professionals. The firm emphasizes co-creating value alongside entrepreneurs from the initial investment stage, focusing on early-stage startups fueled by local trust and diversity across an expanding global community.

4Di Capital

4DI Ventures was co-founded by repeat tech operator and ESET Southern Africa founder Justin Stanford, giving it unusually deep cybersecurity and software operating experience rather than a purely financial background, and originated from Stanford's own angel-investing experiments that directly led to both the firm's creation and the launch of the Silicon Cape Initiative. The firm explicitly describes its style as "nurture capital" with intensive, hands-on engagement, and Stanford is vocal about avoiding the "unicorn at all costs" mentality in African tech, instead emphasizing sustainable market readiness and fundamentals in a more conservative, durability-focused investment approach.
