Wimbart’s Post

Our Women's Month spotlight continues with Damilola Teidi, Principal and Head of Platform and Networks at Ventures Platform Fund, one of Africa's most active early-stage venture firms. With over 13 years at the intersection of startups, capital, and ecosystem development, Dami leads Ventures Platform's post-investment strategy, designing initiatives that support portfolio companies across talent, governance, market expansion, and capital access. The goal is straightforward: help founders grow faster and build better. What stands out when working with Dami is the care she brings to every detail. She asks the right questions, pushes for the best outcomes, and carries the Ventures Platform brand with a level of dedication that is genuinely rare. That kind of commitment does not go unnoticed. People who show up like this are exactly why the ecosystem moves forward. We are glad to work alongside her. #IWD2026 #WomenInVC #WomenInLeadership #AfricanTech #IWD
