Investment thesis
Genesis Ventures is an angel co-investment fund focused on early-stage technology companies, deploying tickets of €100,000-€400,000 into around 60 companies at the concept, pre-seed, and seed stages. Backed by the European Investment Fund and leading angel investors, it seeks strong, committed founding teams solving real and difficult problems in large, growing markets. The fund is sector-agnostic, covering enterprise SaaS, fintech, healthcare, e-commerce, deep-tech, edtech, proptech, Web3 and more. Its geographic focus is Greece and Southeast Europe, though any geography is welcome provided the company has a branch or subsidiary in Greece. It offers mentorship, investor introductions, and venture-building and acceleration programs.

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.
