About Team Capital Investment Ltd.

Est 2023

Our Story

Team Capital Investment Ltd was established by a group of forward-thinking professionals who recognized the immense potential of Africa’s small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and the largely untapped informal sector. Despite being the backbone of the continent’s economy, these businesses often face systemic challenges, including limited access to capital, inefficient operational structures, and a lack of strategic support.

Guided by a deep commitment to reshaping Africa’s entrepreneurial landscape,Tasie Raphael (Managing Partner/Founder) and Oparinde Babatunde (Managing Partner/Co-Founder) co-founded Team Capital as more than just a venture capital firm—it is a movement to revolutionize funding and business support in Africa. They envisioned an investment firm that not only injects capital into promising businesses but also actively nurtures their growth through strategic mentorship, operational guidance, and ecosystem development.

Strategic Focus

Agriculture

Strengthening food security and agribusiness value chains.

Africa’s agricultural sector is central to food security, employment, and economic sustainability. We invest in agribusinesses, food processing, and supply chain innovations that enhance productivity, reduce post-harvest losses, and improve market access for smallholder farmers. By supporting agritech solutions, sustainable farming practices, and agro-processing, we contribute to a more resilient and efficient agricultural ecosystem.

Construction & Real Estate

Supporting infrastructural development and urbanization.

Rapid urbanization and population growth demand sustainable infrastructure and housing solutions. Our investments in construction and real estate focus on companies that deliver affordable housing, commercial property development, and smart infrastructure projects. We aim to bridge the housing deficit, promote modern construction technologies, and create lasting value in Africa’s built environment.

Financial Technology (Fintech)

Accelerating financial inclusion and digital transformation.

Access to finance remains a major barrier for individuals and businesses across Africa. Our investments in fintech drive financial inclusion, digital payments, and access to credit for SMEs and underserved communities. We support disruptive financial solutions, including mobile banking, blockchain applications, peer-to-peer lending, and alternative financing models, that make financial services more inclusive, secure, and scalable.

Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG)

Enabling businesses to scale production and distribution

The FMCG sector plays a critical role in meeting consumer needs, driving commerce, and fostering industrialization. We invest in manufacturing, distribution networks, and innovative retail models that enhance product accessibility, create employment, and strengthen local supply chains. By supporting businesses that provide affordable, high-quality consumer goods, we empower communities and drive economic participation.
