Raba is not a traditional “venture fund”. We are long-term business partners to founders. We operate as an investment partnership — defined as a group of people that focus their time, network, and capital to help founders build companies that generate outsized returns and solve real-world problems. We have been early partners to the founders of many category-defining African software and internet companies. This site is designed to help founders learn about who we are and what we do @Raba.

We build long-term partnerships with long-term people.

TBA = To be announced. *angel and Raba. As of 12.31.2023.

We partner with founders building software and internet-first companies. We get involved early — during a time when we can have outsized impact. We have developed a series of investment themes that inform our partnership decisions. Our focus is on companies that facilitate the efficient movement of capital and essential products — the rails that enable other businesses to be built.

We believe long-term investment results are driven by a combination of an unconventional thesis, a rigorous investment process, and the ability to invest with a longer-term horizon than traditional market participants. Through our network of limited partners, we've built long-term thinking and company-building experience into our operating system from the start.

We align interests with our partners and are among the largest LPs in Raba's funds.

We are proud to call the backers of Raba friends and partners. They come from varied backgrounds and include many of the best global investors and operators. Each is a welcome guest at our home. Partner fit and long-term relationships are at the core of our partnership. Many of our founders we have backed have invested their personal capital directly with us.

We are comfortable stating that we are NOT appropriate for most partners.
