GOODsoil VC

GOODsoil VC is an early-stage venture capital firm based in Accra, Ghana, and London, UK, that invests in African tech and tech-enabled startups, with a focus on supporting minority founders. The firm deployed a $67.5 million flagship fund, targeting investments in over 50 companies across Sub-Saharan Africa, the UK, and Europe, particularly within fintech, payments, and digital banking sectors. Notable portfolio companies include Zeepay, BezoMoney, Zuberi, and BetPawa. GOODsoil VC emphasized diversity in its leadership, with 50% female and 75% Black partners. In June 2025, the firm announced it had fully deployed its fund and is winding down operations without a follow-on vehicle. GOODsoil VC was founded in 2017 by Charmaine Hayden, Orla Enright, Ashley Thompson-MacCarthy, and Richard Mensah.
