Getihu

Getihu is a private equity firm specializing in early-stage investments in scalable, B2B software applications, with a particular focus on Software as a Service (SaaS) and Data as a Service (DaaS) startups. The firm is committed to providing more than just financial support; it actively partners with portfolio companies, offering strategic guidance and resources to facilitate global expansion. Getihu's vision is to establish innovation hubs in developing regions, notably in Cape Town, South Africa, and Lyon, France, to support entrepreneurs aiming to make a significant impact on the world.

The firm's investment strategy targets early-stage companies with existing platforms and at least one client, seeking to invest between $25,000 and $500,000 in exchange for a minimum 25% equity stake. Getihu's approach is hands-on, working closely with portfolio companies to accelerate growth and prepare them for future funding rounds. This model reflects their belief in the potential of SaaS and DaaS sectors to address complex B2B challenges.

Since its inception, Getihu has been involved in several investments, including backing Hi5 Technologies, a cloud-based HR platform, and DOZ, a France-based SaaS-enabled marketplace. These investments underscore Getihu's commitment to nurturing innovative startups and contributing to the growth of the global SaaS ecosystem.
