About Us

We are a research-led global digital infrastructure investment firm, established by industry veterans and experienced investors with a deep understanding of the sector.

Our organisation

Established in 2020, Advencap was founded through the strategic partnership that successfully built and sold Vumatel, South Africa’s first fibre-to-the-home player. 

Today, we operate across the United Kingdom, Western Europe, Asia Pacific, and South Africa, leveraging industry expertise to identify, invest in and support businesses shaping the future of digital infrastructure.

The digital world is evolving rapidly, and robust infrastructure is critical to this transformation. From data centres and fibre networks to small and macro cell towers, digital infrastructure is the backbone of modern economies. Advencap focuses on sectors that will drive the next wave of technological advancement, ensuring our investments have a lasting impact.
