Hasso Plattner Ventures Africa Fund 1 (www.hp-ventures.co.za) was founded in February 2008 and is located just outside of Cape Town, South Africa. The fund is the largest technology-focused private venture capital fund in Africa. The majority of the R400m capital has been committed by SAP co-founder and Chairman, Prof. Dr. Hasso Plattner. The fund demonstrates Dr. Plattner's ongoing commitment to South Africa and its potential to produce successful technology businesses. Following its tagline, "Turning local technologies into global assets," Hasso Plattner Ventures Africa invests in promising, innovative technology companies, assisting local entrepreneurs to broaden their perspectives by entering a global arena.

Since its inception, the fund, which is led by Marc Balkin and managed by a team of experienced local technology venture capital specialists, has invested in eight companies, making Hasso Plattner also one of the most active venture capital funds in South Africa. The current portfolio companies operate in the software, telecommunications, and Internet industries, although but mandate of the fund is defined broader to also be able to accommodate investments into others fields, such as Clean Energy.

Hasso Plattner Ventures Africa is cognizant of the emerging market environment in which it operates and the bridging role technology can play in such emerging markets.

One of the most exciting market segments in which the fund invests is the burgeoning emerging markets mobile telco sector. An example of this is HPVA portfolio company Inala Technologies, which operates in 26 African countries and recently won its first significant order for its network monitoring systems from a Global Network Operator in India and in Indonesia.

Hasso Plattner Ventures Africa offers more than financing. With South Africa being geographically distant from the larger, more developed technology markets, accelerated access to key people and resources internationally is a key element of the fund's offer to its portfolio companies. In addition, entrepreneurs in whom the fund invests can expect all the benefits of its established global reputation and high-level relationships with industry, the sciences, and education.

Hasso Plattner Ventures Africa is associated with Hasso Plattner Ventures Europe—Dr. Plattner's fund based in Berlin—which focuses on investing and building businesses in Europe and Israel. www.hp-ventures.co.za
