About Fund of Funds

We invest in venture capital and private equity funds, partnering with fund managers who share our long-term approach to building resilient businesses and delivering measurable impact.

Target fund managers must present a credible commercial track record, a clearly articulated investment thesis, and strong alignment with E Squared’s values and impact mandate. We assess each opportunity across the full lifecycle of a fund, including team capability, governance and decision-making discipline, pipeline quality, portfolio support approach, and the robustness of reporting and impact measurement.

Through these partnerships, we aim to support the development of the local investment ecosystem, and back managers who combine performance with purpose.

Application Process

All commitments are subject to a rigorous due diligence process that includes a thorough review of the fund’s investment strategy, governance structures, portfolio, pipeline, track record and impact objectives. External advisors may be engaged as part of the evaluation, with final decisions subject to Investment Committee approval.

Please submit your fund teaser to investments@esquared.org.za to apply.
