Super Capital, one of Europe’s most active business angel networks and club deal platforms, is expanding into the Middle East and Africa (MEA) with the official introduction of its Super Capital Middle East & Africa Club, in collaboration with renowned entrepreneur and investor Axel Peyriere.
Since 2019, Super Capital has invested over €30 million in more than 150 European startups, supporting standout companies such as Onoff (telecom), Ziwig (healthtech), Shipfix (maritime data), Elax Energie (cleantech), Via Sana (healthcare), Aria (fintech), Mobile.club (phone subscription), Firecell (private 5G), Alinea (fintech Gen-z), Arcads.ai (AI), and many others.
Now, Super Capital is bringing its successful European model to the rapidly growing markets of Africa and the Middle East. This expansion is in partnership with Venture Partner Axel Peyriere, co-founder and CEO of AUTO24.africa, who is also one of the most active business angels in the region, having made over 50 investments, including in companies like Julaya, Bumpa, Zazu, Curacel, Termii, Postex, Qashio, Sikili, and others.
The Super Capital MEA Club will support up to 10 high-potential startups each year, with investment tickets ranging from €100,000 to €250,000 per deal. The Club will target sectors such as fintech, logistics, SaaS, healthtech, mobility, and consumer services.
“Africa and the Middle East are home to exceptional entrepreneurial talent and rapidly growing tech ecosystems,” said Corentin Orsini, Co-founder of Super Capital. “With Axel on board, we’re eager to bring our network, expertise, and capital to these vibrant markets. Our ambition is to become the leading European partner for ambitious founders across the region.”
“After years of investing and building in Africa, I’m excited to partner with Super Capital to provide founders across MEA with access to smart capital and global connections,” said Axel Peyriere. “We’re not just providing financial support — we’re backing visionary founders with hands-on involvement and long-term commitment.”
Super Capital, founded by Corentin Orsini, Thibaut Gimenez, and Frédéric Baecke, is known for its agile, founder-first investment approach and its ability to curate high-quality deal flow for a strong network of European angel investors and family offices. With the launch of its MEA Club, Super Capital aims to connect European capital with emerging-market innovation, offering strategic value, follow-on funding, and market expansion support.
