Upload your own deal flow. Every company researched and scored against 9 dimensions. Private to your firm.
Workflow Built for Your Firm
Pipeline, shared notes, team activity. Everything your firm needs to move from signal to decision without losing anything in a WhatsApp thread.
With Lemina, you know before you decide.the data speaks for itself.the gap finally closes.every data point has a source.you stop guessing.the best companies are findable.diligence takes minutes, not weeks.you invest with conviction.the information is trustworthy.nothing gets missed.your whole firm moves together.nothing gets lost in a thread.the pipeline is one place, not five.
Built for the moment before the decision.
The best deals surface early — through builder signal across X, LinkedIn, and the platforms founders actually use.
But finding the deal is only half the job. Your firm still needs one place to track it, discuss it, and decide — not five scattered threads.
Lemina ends that, by being the infrastructure you deserve to make decisions with.

Lemina is the operating system for African venture capital — deal discovery powered by proprietary data, and the workflow tools your firm runs on, scored across 9 dimensions that actually matter to an investment decision. Built for investors who need more than a directory.
Search Lemina's verified African companies by name, sector, stage, or location, and open any profile to see it scored across 9 dimensions with a Lemina Score so you know exactly what to trust. Track companies on your Watchlist, and run real deals through a Pipeline — every deal gets its own workspace with shared notes, documents, and a decision log, visible to your whole team if you're on the Firm plan. Upload your own portfolio or deal-flow list with Import List and Lemina checks it against everything already verified, in minutes. Set Alerts on the sectors and stages you care about, and read Lemina News — our market coverage through a deal-focused, investor's lens, filtered to just the companies on your watchlist if that's how you want it.
Yes — from Import List inside the dashboard. Upload your existing portfolio or deal-flow list as a CSV and Lemina checks it against everything we've already verified, in minutes. Every company gets researched against Lemina's deep standards of excellence, and stays visible to you and your workspace only. Free accounts get 3 uploads and 5 newly-verified companies, lifetime — matching itself is always free.
Yes, on the Firm plan. Your team shares one pipeline — any deal, note, document, or decision is visible to everyone in your workspace, not locked to whoever added it. A partner traveling for two weeks doesn't stall a deal, and a new analyst can pick up exactly where the team left off instead of being walked through it from scratch.
It gets its own Deal Workspace: the full verified profile and evidence tiers on one screen, a shared notes and activity feed your whole team sees, a place to attach documents, and a decision log recording who recommended what and why — Invest, Pass, Watch, or Need More. It's built to replace the WhatsApp thread and shared Drive folder most firms fall back on, not add another tool on top of them.
Every data point on Lemina carries a Lemina Score from 0 to 100. The score reflects how the data was sourced and verified — from self-reported information at the lower end, to regulatory database verification and direct confirmation at the highest tier. You never have to guess whether to trust a number.
Investors operating in African private markets — angel investors, VC analysts, fund managers, and institutional allocators who are evaluating African companies and need structured, verified data to make confident decisions.
Yes. All company data is stored behind authenticated access. Private notes on a company stay private to you. If you bring a deal into your firm's shared workspace, your teammates can see it and its notes — that's the point of the workspace. Nothing else is ever shared with other users or third parties.
