TLcom Capital, a leading venture capital firm with a strong presence in Africa, has made its debut investment in South Africa by leading a seed funding round for LittleFish, a fintech startup focused on empowering banks to better serve the continent’s burgeoning small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
LittleFish, founded by Brandon Roberts and Miod Davith Kahwa, has developed a unique platform that enables banks, insurers, and other financial institutions to seamlessly integrate with fintech solutions. This innovative approach allows traditional financial players to enhance their service offerings to SMEs, providing them with access to streamlined financial operations, efficient payment processing, and improved access to credit.
This investment aligns with TLcom Capital’s strategic objective of expanding its investment portfolio across key African markets. The firm, which previously focused its investments primarily in East and West Africa, recognizes the significant growth potential of the South African fintech sector and aims to capitalize on this dynamic market.
The funding will enable LittleFish to accelerate its growth and further enhance its platform, empowering more SMEs across South Africa with access to critical financial services. This investment not only supports LittleFish’s growth but also strengthens TLcom Capital’s position as a leading investor in the African technology ecosystem.
