[column 12 layout="default" class="text"]The PIC’s Early-Stage Fund (ESF) was established to catalyse projects in their infancy, create new industries, drive innovation, support job creation (particularly for youth and women), unlock economic growth, and promote gender equality while generating sustainable financial returns. In this way, the PIC is leading institutional capital into the early-stage and venture capital market to attract institutional investors, thereby growing the pool of available funds.

The Fund’s investments will bolster innovation, entrepreneurship and collaboration in line with the Startup20 theme – a G20 initiative seeking to bring together stakeholders to find solutions to support start-ups. These investments are intended to support the South African economy’s transition towards the Fourth Industrial Revolution, while striving to deliver optimal economic and social impact.
