Africa is the future, but ironically there�s a lot of underdevelopment and problems to be solved at the moment, which in itself is a pain point.

At Hux Ventures, we work to identify untapped, possibly game-changing ideas and bring them to fruition. We back daring African founders tackling some of Africa�s most pressing challenges. We offer tailored support at every stage of the founders' journey, from founding to IPO, and implement new solutions for African growth.
