大多数投资者在决定是否投资一家初创公司时，通常会经历一场路演、数次会谈以及数周的尽职调查。然而，专注于非洲的风险投资公司VOA Venture Partners（VOA风险投资公司）创始人维多利亚·奥拉伊德·阿德桑亚（Victoria Olayide Adesanya）在决定注资前，却有着更高的要求：她希望在被投公司内部工作六个月。

作为回报，VOA (美国之音) 将获得其帮助创造的收入分成，以及一份在合作期间逐步归属的小额股权。VOA (美国之音) 的基金是否会在后期进行投资，则是一个独立的决定。Adesanya (阿德桑亚) 针对早期初创企业融资难寻的市场，建立了该项目。根据 Africa: The Big Deal (非洲：大交易) 的数据，在2026年上半年，融资额在10万美元至100万美元之间的非洲初创企业数量下降了44%。

在创立这支基金之初，我们曾思考希望支持的初创企业类型。然而，真正的关键问题在于：我们如何确保非洲在全球经济中成为一个关键参与者？鉴于非洲将是未来增长的引擎，我们又该如何加速这一进程，并从中分得一杯羹？

Most investors decide whether to back a startup after a pitch, a handful of meetings and several weeks of due diligence. Victoria Olayide Adesanya, founder of VOA Venture Partners, an Africa-focused venture capital firm, demands something more before writing a cheque: she wants to spend six months working inside the business.

VOA backs startups building the financial infrastructure that moves money into and out of Africa, with a focus on founders from the African diaspora. Adesanya said she bets on the parts of fintech most people never see, pushing back on the idea that African fintech is crowded. 

She calls the market young and says financial infrastructure, mostly business-to-business, is full of gaps. Two of VOA’s portfolio companies show what she means. Blockradar lets fintechs offer stablecoin wallets through an API without hiring blockchain engineers. REasy helps small businesses in Francophone Africa pay suppliers in China and Dubai and handle the shipping. 

Before starting the firm, Adesanya spent over a decade in finance, including roles at Barclays and Credit Suisse and advisory work for investment banks such as Morgan Stanley. Adesanya spends six months inside a company through VOA Build, a programme the firm has been piloting with a handful of companies this year. VOA works with a startup as an extra go-to-market strategist, with no investment, and the only goal is to grow revenue.
