Overview

JENGA by TJP Ventures is a venture building company pursuing a new model for entrepreneurship and venture capital funding in Africa. In a world where what is said counts for more than what is done, where delivery matters less than marketing, and where money out is more important than what is invested, we believe that true partnership is the single most important factor driving success for innovators and investors, in a sustainable manner. Our core purpose and mission is to design and build companies with Founders. To fund and build companies of consequence. To connect exceptional entrepreneurial talent to the right capital and people, all united in one common focus – the investment in and building of African visionaries toward a more equitable socio-economic environment on our continent. Tunajenga Pamoja – ‘We Build Together’ in Swahili – is the cornerstone of our philosophy, and indeed our actions every day. In partnering with us, early-stage innovators access strategic investor capital, a venture-building ecosystem, world-class expertise, and most-importantly, entrenched local networks with invaluable localised knowledge. This truly sets us apart. We believe that no matter how visionary an idea might be, it is only achievable, and realisable, when the people behind it are of the highest integrity, and prepared to collectively dedicate themselves toward building that idea. It takes a collective. A community. Tunajenga pamoja! Join the community as we look to fund and build great startups. Together.
