For Us, By Us, To The World.
About Us
Our Story
RodoLabs partners with African and Black owned founders to help them raise capital, access strategic resources and tell their growth story on a global stage. These founders are building differentiated solutions yet remain under recognised and underfunded. Our team brings cross-disciplinary expertise in finance, venture investing, technology, law and corporate strategy, backed by an active network of operators and capital partners. We are not a traditional consultancy. RodoLabs is a platform built to unlock scale.
Who We Are
We are a collective of African and diaspora professionals dedicated to recognizing, funding, and scaling African innovation globally. Together, we uniquely bridge the gap between founders and funders, leveraging our lived experiences and cultural fluency to connect African innovation with global capital.
What We Offer
Funding Access
Early-stage founders often face challenges accessing capital, even with strong ideas and market traction.
​We help unlock funding opportunities by connecting founders to grants, accelerators, angel investors, and early-stage VCs aligned with their goals.
Investment Readiness Advisory
Investors look for clarity, structure, and confidence in the opportunities they back.
We work with founders to refine their pitch, build credible financial models, and prepare for fundraising conversations with confidence.
Go-To-Market and Product Scaling Support
Translating a great idea into a scalable business requires clear commercial focus.
We provide strategic and technical support to strengthen go-to-market execution, product development, and growth planning.
Strategic Partnerships
Building the right relationships is often key to unlocking scale.
We connect founders to a trusted network of operators, mentors, and ecosystem leaders who can open doors and accelerate progress.
Ecosystem Navigation & Advocacy
The startup landscape can be difficult to navigate without guidance.
We support founders through regulatory processes, accelerator pathways, and strategic decisions to help them move forward with clarity and confidence.
