Built for ambition that knows no borders.
Octerra Capital is a multi-asset investment firm with African roots and a global outlook. We invest across venture capital, private credit, real estate, and alternatives, pursuing sustainable, outsized returns while measuring our success by the lasting impact we create. We bring more than capital: deep diligence, disciplined allocation, and value-adding, hands-on partnership.
We invest across four strategies (venture capital, private credit, real estate, and alternatives), partnering with those who are shaping emerging markets. We invest with conviction, focusing on value creation across every stage and asset class.
What sets Octerra apart is our hands-on approach. Beyond capital, we provide strategic guidance, operational support and access to networks; the experience our partners need to navigate growth, scale sustainably and compete globally.
We believe exceptional outcomes are built by people with vision, courage and execution. Our role is to empower them with the resources, partnerships and support required to build and sustain category-defining value.
Our values are the foundation of Octerra.
We strive to make a lasting impact in every interaction we have, pushing boundaries and setting new standards in everything we do.
Unwaveringly dedicated to excellence.
We always strive for the highest standards, embracing challenges and setbacks as opportunities to learn and grow.
We value balanced decision-making, which involves understanding available data and the context in which it was collected, while also considering personal experience and intuition.
Integrity over expediency.
We hold ourselves to high ethical standards and believe in doing the right thing, even if it means making difficult decisions or taking unpopular positions. We do not compromise our values for short-term gain.
We value individuals who bring their authentic selves to everything they do, creating an open and honest environment.
What we look for:
Venture Capital
Exceptional founders and operators building technology or tech-enabled businesses. We look for a large, real market; early evidence of product-market fit and traction; a defensible edge; and a fit where our capital and hands-on support move the needle.
01
Private Credit
Established, cash-generative businesses that need flexible debt or structured credit. We look for predictable cash flows, tangible collateral or clear security, disciplined leverage, and downside protection. We pride ourselves on underwriting built on rigorous analysis and covenant discipline first.
02
Alternative Investments
We invest in the foundational layers of economic infrastructure. We back bold operators building scalable businesses with predictable cashflows and a tangible road to exponential growth.
03
Real Estate
Income-generating real assets with durable yields and long-term appreciation. We look for quality locations, creditworthy tenants or reliable demand, sound fundamentals on an entry basis, and a clear path to value through income, development, or repositioning.
