Enza Capital was co-founded by Mike Mompi in Nairobi in 2019, built around a specific thesis: back technology companies that 'organize the offline, digitize key industries, and redefine African life.' The firm operates as a genuinely multi-stage investor, partnering with founders from pre-seed through Series B on a single first check rather than requiring separate relationships at each stage, with typical checks between $250,000 and $5 million. Enza introduced a distinctive Founder Partner Program in 2023 that allocates 10% of the firm's own ownership to the founders in its portfolio, an unusual structural bet on aligning incentives beyond the standard investor-founder relationship. The firm has invested in more than 30 companies across eight African markets, spanning fintech, logistics, healthcare, human capital, and climate-smart sectors, with $78 million under management across two funds.
