Who we are
Building ventures that reform systems and economies.
Eliyana Ventures is a HardTech Startup Studio & AI Consultancy based in Zimbabwe, serving Africa and beyond — spearheading a renaissance of African ingenuity to confront the continent’s wicked problems in development and economic transformation.
Our story
Eliyana Ventures was envisioned over several years and founded in earnest in 2025, emerging at a time of declining foreign aid and shifting development models across Africa.
What began as a faith-driven idea pivoted into a for-profit HardTech venture studio — a structure built to unlock scalable, sustainable impact. Today we operate from Old Mutual’s Eight2Five Innovation Hub in Harare, with plans to establish a Bulawayo presence in 2026.
