Delta40

Delta40 functions as a venture studio and capital fund, building and scaling technology-enabled climate ventures across Africa. It employs a unique integrated model, combining early-stage capital with comprehensive operational support for product development, fundraising, and commercialization. This approach fosters innovations designed to enhance climate resilience and promote economic inclusion in Africa.

Founded by Lyndsay Holley Handler, Delta40 emerged from the recognized need for a more hands-on investment model supporting early-stage African companies. Handler, an experienced operator, saw potential in merging venture capital with a studio approach to de-risk and accelerate impactful startup growth. This structure provides founders with crucial funding and deep operational expertise.

Delta40 primarily supports early-stage founders developing inclusive climate innovations in African sectors like energy, mobility, and agriculture. The firm connects these entrepreneurs with a robust network of operators, investors, and partners. Its long-term vision is to increase incomes and tackle climate change by cultivating and scaling transformative ventures across Africa.
