Heart Capital is a venture capital firm based in Cape Town. Our goal is to drive social change in a financially sustainable way. We achieve this by combining philanthropy, the value creating capacity of entrepreneurship and the time-proven model of venture capital. We design, develop, finance and manage social enterprises through seed and venture stages. The key differentiator is that we are equity holders in our portfolio ventures and are actively involved in scaling their operations. Our portfolio address a variety of issues including women economic empowerment, food security, sustainable housing, carbon emissions, mobile learning, entrepreneurial development in low resource communities and alcohol abuse.
