Grindstone Ventures

Grindstone Ventures is a female-led post-seed fund that supports post-seed equity and quasi-equity investments in early-stage innovation-driven and/or technology companies with strong intellectual property, evident growth potential, with the aim of delivering capital growth and sustainable cash yields over the long term.

The Fund aims to make medium to long-term investments in our Grindstone Accelerator companies that are primarily domiciled, headquartered or founded in South Africa, or that conduct principal business activities within South Africa that will advance market access for Grindstone companies.

Our secret sauce lies in our robust Grindstone Accelerator which enables innovation-driven tech startups to access Knowledge, Networks, Funding and Markets, and preparing companies for exponential growth.
