At Pista Ventures, we believe that the most powerful ideas are born at the intersection of disciplines. That’s why we value multidisciplinary and transdisciplinary approaches by bringing together researchers, designers, strategists, technologists, community practitioners and systems thinkers to address Africa’s most complex challenges through research, design and innovation.
We’re building a trusted collaborator network – a constellation of independent thinkers we can call on for project-based work, strategic bids, co-creation labs and experimental ventures.
Whether you’re a specialist in a niche field or a generalist with a flair for systems thinking, if you’re curious, collaborative and purpose-driven, we’d love to connect.

our vision for the network
