We are Reboot.
Reboot is a venture building and investment company that builds, invests in and transforms technology-enabled businesses for Africa.
We bring capital, technology, product thinking, operating experience and hands-on execution together around opportunities where we believe they can create lasting value.
Building value takes more than capital.
Financial capital matters. So do the technology, people, operating systems and decisions that turn opportunity into a functioning business.
Our model is built around a simple idea: bring those capabilities closer together.
We combine investment, company building and hands-on operating experience so we can contribute both capital and capability to the work of building stronger businesses.
Capital and capability brought closer together around opportunities to build enduring enterprises.
One company. Three ways to create value.
Build
We identify opportunities and work with exceptional people to build technology-enabled businesses from the ground up.
Invest
We invest in and acquire existing businesses where Reboot’s capital and capabilities can contribute to long-term value creation.
Transform
We work alongside existing businesses to strengthen the technology, product, operations and organisational capabilities required for what comes next.
“The starting point changes. Our willingness to get involved in the work does not.”
How we think about the work.
Capability matters as much as capital.
Money can create options. Building value requires the capability to use those options well.
Technology belongs in the business.
Technology is not a separate concern or an end in itself. It should serve the product, operations and objectives of the business.
Execution is part of the strategy.
Ideas and plans matter. So does the ability to turn them into products, systems, organisations and businesses that work.
Hands-on by design.
Reboot is built around active involvement.
Whether we’re building a company, investing in one or helping an existing business transform, our model is designed to bring relevant capability closer to the work.
That means understanding the business, working alongside the people responsible for it and contributing where our experience can make a meaningful difference.
“Whether we’re building a company, investing in one or helping an existing business transform, our model is designed to bring relevant capability closer to the work.”
Focused on African opportunity.
Reboot is focused on technology-enabled businesses creating value in African markets.
We believe many of the strongest opportunities in these markets will depend on more than good ideas or capital alone. They will require strong products, technology that supports the business, capable organisations and disciplined execution.
That’s where Reboot’s model is designed to contribute.
