Investment thesis
New York Venture Partners is a family office run by founders that concentrates on pre-seed and seed-stage startups, having made more than 60 direct investments. Beyond capital, the firm provides an ecosystem of support including mentorship and strategic marketing consulting. While rooted in New York, the firm will consider any US-based startup structured as a Delaware C-corp, provided the founders are exceptional and possess an unfair advantage.

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.
