On February 11, 2026, Delta40, an integrated venture studio and VC fund investing in and supporting founders on the frontlines of Africa’s most urgent challenges, announced $20 million in funding. The milestone marks Africa’s first institutional raise linking venture building and early-stage capital, merging investment with hands-on studio support from experienced operators to build and scale start-ups across the continent. Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati advised Delta40 on the transaction.

Delta40 initially launched its venture studio model in Kenya and has since expanded to Lagos, Nigeria, providing portfolio companies with direct, on-the-ground support as they scale across the continent. Delta40 pioneered a unique venture studio and fund model that combines early-stage capital with embedded product, fundraising, commercial, finance, legal, growth, and exit expertise. Through this model, Delta40 partners with founders from idea to scale across energy and mobility, agriculture, and fintech—with a goal to integrate AI across all sectors.

The Wilson Sonsini team that advised Delta40 on the transaction included Bob O’Connor, Elke Trilla, Amy Ilowite, Jessica Remlinger, Greg Broome, Brad Doline, Sara Pollock, Daniel Scott, and Tamra Mast.
