FrontEnd Ventures

FrontEnd Ventures is a Kenya-based early-stage fund investing in tech and tech-enabled businesses that improve work, productivity, and wellbeing across Africa. The fund targets local and gender-diverse founding teams and is committed to deep local engagement, ecosystem development, and unlocking local institutional capital.  

Small Foundation has provided GP working capital to FrontEnd Ventures to support its fundraising and operational runway. As the first allocation under our GP Working Capital Facility, this investment reflects our commitment to backing locally led, emerging fund managers who are building stronger, more inclusive venture ecosystems.
