We are Africans and we invest in African female founders
One Day Yes is a more than a venture fund; we are partners and friends who work together with the shared goal of building generational companies across Africa. We hold long-term thinking central to our worldview, being able to invest with longer horizons than others. We serve as a bridge for African female builders to connect with leading global partners.
We are a thesis led fund with an affinity for networked businesses building essential rails that improve how underserved markets function. We like businesses that are able to connect fragmented nodes to one another.
