Why We Built This
The VC game is broken.
Founders waste 6+ months pitching investors who were never going to invest. Investors waste time on deals that don't fit their thesis. Everyone loses.
We built NartaQ because we were tired of watching great companies die waiting for capital while investors complained about "deal flow."
The AI matching engine we built in 4 months does what 100 cold emails can't:finds investors who actually want what you're building.
250 founding members. That's the cap.
After that, you wait for public beta.
A platform where merit wins
NartaQ is the first venture matchmaking platform purpose-built for Africa and developing countries. We combine intelligent founder-investor matching with institutional-grade infrastructure—giving every startup the governance, transparency, and credibility they need from day one.
Unlike traditional platforms that favor warm introductions and Silicon Valley networks, we use data-driven evaluation to assess startups based on what actually matters: market opportunity, team capability, product innovation, and traction metrics.
Smart Matching
AI-powered algorithms connect founders with investors based on sector expertise, stage focus, and strategic fit.
DAO Governance
Each startup gets its own blockchain-based DAO, turning governance tokens into company shares with full transparency.
Full Transparency
Real-time cap tables, automated compliance, and institutional-grade record-keeping from day one.
A Quick Reality Check
"Look, if you're happy with the current VC game, this isn't for you. But if you're tired of the bullshit—the ghosting, the 'maybe' emails, the 47 meetings to get a 'no'—we built this for you."
Two founders, one vision
Based in Paris, France, we're building the infrastructure that will power the next generation of African and developing country startups. Our team combines deep expertise in venture capital, blockchain technology, and emerging markets to deliver institutional-grade solutions purpose-built for underserved founders.
