10 years! 🎉 A decade ago, we started with a simple belief — that Africa's most transformative ideas were already here, waiting to be backed, built, and believed in. From an on-campus accelerator in an art-wrapped container building to an institutional fund that has backed over 100 companies across the continent — we've spent ten years investing in founders, in systems, and in the environments where innovation takes root. As we mark this anniversary, we've been reflecting on what the next ten years ask of us. So in the spirit of who we are, we've partnered with the Pan-Atlantic University (PAU) and Yemisi Shyllon Museum of Art, Pan-Atlantic University on two initiatives — a Student Entrepreneurship Engagement Programme and the VP–YSMA Futures Art Award. Because the next ten years will be built by people who are equal parts curious, creative, and courageous. Watch our Founding Partner, Kola A., share more. #VenturesPlatform #VP10 #FuturesArtAward #YSMA #Technology #Innovation #AfricanArt
Amazing work and congratulations on hitting this milestone. 🎉🎉
Congratulations Kola and the VP team — 10 years is a huge milestone. From a container on campus to backing 100+ companies across Africa is real impact. The PAU partnership and VP–YSMA Futures Art Award show you’re building for the next decade, not just celebrating the last. Well done. Here’s to the next 10.🎉
Great milestone. Africa’s growth will be driven by founders solving real, everyday challenges. We’re building in healthcare distribution, and the gap in reliable supply is bigger than most people realize.
Happiest of anniversaries to team VP. It’s a joy working with you.
