Super Capital, a leading European angel investment network, has launched its new Middle East and Africa (MEA) Club to tap into the burgeoning startup ecosystems of both regions. In partnership with seasoned investor Axel Peyriere, the initiative aims to bring structured capital and strategic expertise to high-growth companies in underserved markets. This expansion marks a significant milestone in Super Capital’s evolution, signalling its intention to align European investment momentum with global innovation.
Building on a Strong Investment Legacy
Founded in 2019, Super Capital has quickly become one of Europe’s most active investor networks, deploying over €30 million into 150 startups. The firm’s portfolio includes diverse ventures such as Onoff in telecoms, Shipfix in maritime data, Firecell in 5G infrastructure, and Ziwig in healthtech. Known for its founder-friendly approach and curated deal flow, the network connects early-stage startups with a robust pool of angel investors and family offices seeking high-potential opportunities.
Targeting Growth in Fintech, Healthtech, and SaaS
The newly formed MEA Club will replicate Super Capital’s European model by investing in up to ten startups per year. Investment tickets will range from €100,000 to €250,000 per deal, with a strong focus on fintech, SaaS, healthtech, logistics, mobility, and consumer services. The initiative is structured to provide not only financial backing but also long-term strategic support, operational guidance, and access to Super Capital’s global investor base.
Partnership with Axel Peyriere Strengthens Regional Ties
Joining as Venture Partner, Axel Peyriere brings a wealth of experience and deep regional knowledge to the MEA Club. He is best known as the co-founder of AUTO24.africa and has invested in over 50 startups across Africa and the Middle East, including Julaya, Termii, Curacel, and Postex. Peyriere’s extensive footprint in the region positions him as a critical asset in sourcing deals, mentoring founders, and aligning local talent with international capital.
Bridging Capital and Opportunity Across Continents
The MEA Club is designed to connect underserved but rapidly advancing markets with the strategic and financial tools needed to scale. Super Capital’s entrance into these regions reflects a broader movement among European investors to engage more deeply with Africa and the Middle East’s evolving tech landscapes. By facilitating cross-border investment, the initiative aims to accelerate the growth of local ventures and create stronger ties between ecosystems.
With its MEA Club, Super Capital is poised to make a meaningful impact on the startup landscapes of the Middle East and Africa. By combining European capital with regional insight and execution, the firm hopes to catalyse growth for emerging founders while offering investors new pathways to global innovation. As the first cohort of startups comes into view, Super Capital’s expansion promises to reshape how early-stage funding flows into these high-potential markets.
