The Firm

We play a vital role in helping companies realize their growth potential. We uncover and unlock value by identifying great companies with untapped potential and enhancing their performance.

Discreet Labs

Africa is the next Frontier!

Personal encounters with friends turned founders enabled us to glean specifics on what is a pervasive problem in the Nigerian investment scene. There’s a gulf between the type of institutions VCs & PE sought and the type of investments most founders needed to validate high potential ideas and kickstart their dreams to impact the immediate landscape.
We formed Discreet Labs to bridge this gap through Micro VC.

Our method has been to discover startups working towards remarkable objectives and find investors willing to absorb the risk of this investment. Discreet Labs works with startups to ensure the best use of resources and maximum returns for all stakeholders.

The Principles that Matter Most

Technology • Opportunity • Impact • Experimentation • Diversity

Everything we do is guided by these principles, which define our character and culture; they have been at the core of Discreet Labs since its inception. These enduring qualities are the shared convictions that we bring to our professional and personal conduct. They are a fundamental strength of our business.

Investment Philosophy

Our existence as the pioneer Micro-VC firm is directed at bridging the gap between entrepreneur (at Idea stage/ pre MVP/ pilot stage ) and Venture firms. We work with our start-ups (fund and advise)

Market

The bigger the market, the bigger the opportunity, the bigger the impact.

Team

We like to invest in deep deep competence and excellent leadership, precursors to excellent execution.

Idea

Ideas rule the world. Ideas change the world. Ideas build empires. But we understand ideas evolve.

Timing

A lot of innovation and impact have been lost by ill timing. We believe impact is directly proportional to timing.
