About DFS Lab

DFS Lab is a Seattle-based, research-driven venture capital firm that invests exclusively in early-stage (pre-seed to seed, with occasional Series A) digital financial services and digital commerce startups in Africa, writing checks of $50,000–$1,000,000. Their distinctive “cyborgs over androids” thesis backs companies that augment existing informal networks (like mobile money agents) rather than replacing them with purely digital solutions. Notable portfolio companies include PayDay, CutStruct, Terraa, and Sendchamp (which exited).
