Novastar is a venture capital manager dedicated to finding and supporting the next generation of exceptional entrepreneurs designing and executing innovative business models to profitably serve Africa’s mass markets. In so doing, these entrepreneurs and their ventures can generate large-scale benefits to low-income households and attractive returns to investors. These ‘New Stars’ have their forebears in every successful economy. They are the catalysts for innovation, accountability, efficiency and the accumulation of wealth for the common good. While we are managing a pool of capital, we do not think of ourselves primarily as fund managers. The fun and focus of our work is partnering with entrepreneurs to help bring ideas to life and multiply their impact.
