About HoaQ

HoaQ Club is a community of creators and operators who back entrepreneurs building scalable businesses for Africa and its diaspora. Members pool their money to invest in early-stage startups. It also gives members a route to learn about angel investing.

What HoaQ offers

  • Startup funding: investment in pre-seed, seed and Series A companies.
  • Expertise: advice drawn from members and their wider network.
  • Talent: members can help portfolio companies as they scale.
  • Deal access: members receive a shortlist of deals after founders are engaged.

Customers and markets

It backs technology and tech-enabled startups with African or diaspora co-founders that already earn revenue and show traction, ideally with a technical co-founder. It does not invest in small businesses, non-profits, shares or property.

Key facts

  • Process: members review deals, commit, then an investment committee completes due diligence.
  • Reporting: investing members receive periodic updates from portfolio companies.
