Audacity Labs develops and builds new ventures at the intersection of infrastructure, technology and economic development.
Africa is our edge. Global is our market.
We explore important problems, develop new ideas and build the strongest of them into companies.
We focus on areas where shifts in infrastructure, technology and economic development are creating new markets — and where building from Africa offers a differentiated perspective.
Starting at the edge of the grid
Amper is building technology to make distributed energy assets more visible, controllable and useful to electricity systems, starting with EV charging.
As electric vehicles and other distributed loads grow, electricity networks increasingly need to understand where, when and how energy is being consumed. Amper is starting at the edge of the grid: connecting charging infrastructure, collecting high-quality energy data and building the tools needed to coordinate flexible demand.
Africa's next generation of companies will depend on electricity, connectivity, logistics, compute, data and other systems that are themselves changing rapidly.
Rather than only building applications on top of existing infrastructure, Audacity Labs builds technologies and companies that help the underlying systems work better.
Find consequential problems worth solving.
Turn strong ideas into products and ventures.
Test them in real markets, learn quickly and build evidence before scaling.
Directions we believe are consequential — where better technology and business models can open new markets.
How should electricity systems prepare for increasingly distributed, flexible and intelligent demand?
Where can better technology and business models materially improve access to critical infrastructure and services?
Building from here is not a constraint to work around. It is where the sharper questions — and the more durable answers — come from.
Audacity Labs is interested in exceptional builders, operators, researchers and domain experts who want to work on consequential problems. Some will join existing ventures. Others may help explore and build entirely new ones.
Get in touchWe work with companies, governments, utilities, researchers and institutions that can help us understand complex systems, test new approaches and build new markets.
Start a conversationWe are building companies around emerging infrastructure opportunities from African markets. We welcome conversations with investors interested in deep technology, infrastructure and large underserved markets.
Talk to usWe are interested in important problems, unusual insights and people ambitious enough to build around them.
