Our goal is simple

To participate in business ecosystems in which we can feel an intrinsic reverberation of joy.

Our investment model

Investment

We invest in, and partner with businesses where we are able to add real value.

Stewardship

We are for the generations that will outlast us. Our founding premise is to work toward long-term value.

Growth

Each Talent10 team member commits their network, creativity, skillset and resources towards achieving growth for the businesses we invest in. We partner to develop ideas and make them iconic.

Our Story

What do an independent film company, an Internet of Things company and a gaming studio have in common?

They all got their start with the backing of Talent10.

Having already built his success, Wayne Fitzjohn founded Talent10 in 2012 to pursue his purpose, to help visionaries realise their dreams. Along with Sipho Nkosi, Mxolisi Mgojo and Dr Humphrey Mathe, they have grown a portfolio of companies in excess of US $1 billion.

The way we support investee companies stands out from the crowd. How? We support entrepreneurs with finances, strategy, management, sales and marketing. We also provide diverse commercial networks, as well as our own 20 years of deal-making expertise. We don’t believe in being ‘boxed in’, nor do we believe in boxing our companies into just one, narrow idea of entrepreneurship. Our business-centric mindset is driven by long-term value. We invest in companies where executive management holds a significant shareholding. From here, we look at how we can bring value to the business over and above funding.

We don’t believe in shortcuts. Our partnership is built on collaboration and trust.
