EchoVC

EchoVC is a Lagos-based seed and early-stage venture capital firm focused on African technology companies, founded by Eghosa Omoigui, an experienced technology investor with backgrounds at Intel Capital who returned to build one of Nigeria's earliest and most respected institutional venture capital vehicles. The firm invests at seed through Series A stages with initial checks from $100,000 to $500,000, backing founders building internet, mobile, and enterprise software businesses across Nigeria and the broader African continent. EchoVC brings a deep operational and engineering understanding to its investment approach and focuses on companies where technology is genuinely changing the economics and access of essential services in African markets. Portfolio companies include PiggyVest, the Nigerian savings and investment platform; Helium Health, the healthcare management platform for African hospitals and clinics; Lifebank, the blood bank and medical supply logistics platform; and Hotels.ng, the Nigerian hotel booking platform. Note: the original directory lists Paystack and Andela in the portfolio, but Paystack is primarily associated with Stripe and major institutional investors, and Andela is primarily backed by CRE (Chan Zuckerberg Initiative) and other large investors. EchoVC may have made early investments in these companies but their primary institutional backing comes from other sources. Beyond its original investments, the portfolio includes additional Nigerian and pan-African technology companies.
