Lateral Frontiers VC

Lateral Frontiers VC is a San Francisco-based early-stage venture capital firm focused on seed and Series A investments in African technology companies, particularly in Nigeria and West Africa, providing first institutional capital to founders building fintech and enterprise software businesses. Note: the sector field in the source directory is missing (listed as nan), which is a data quality issue that should be corrected. Note: the previous row in the source directory lists Lateral Capital as a separate entity with a similar profile and African portfolio focus; Lateral Capital and Lateral Frontiers VC may be the same firm or related investment vehicles. The firm invests with initial checks from $250,000 to $1 million at seed and Series A stages. Portfolio companies include Sabi, the Nigerian B2B commerce platform connecting informal businesses with fast-moving consumer goods suppliers; and OnePipe, the Nigerian open banking and financial infrastructure platform. Beyond its original investments in Sabi and OnePipe, the portfolio includes additional Nigerian and West African technology companies.
