About
Novastar Ventures is a venture capital firm that partners with entrepreneurs building businesses in Africa that serve the basic needs of everyday consumers. Its website is issued by Novastar Ventures Limited, an investment manager authorised and regulated by the UK Financial Conduct Authority, which works with investment advisors in Nairobi and Lagos. The firm says it does not invest in lookalike business models, noting that plug-and-play solutions to a single problem rarely work where many value chains are broken. Portfolio companies named on its site include Moniepoint, Turaco, TradeDepot, mPharma, BasiGo, Breadfast, Chowdeck and KOKO Networks. It publishes ESG due diligence reports on investments such as FARO, Tayar and Rechaj.
